Figure 2. Globodera pallida flp-32 (Gp-flp-32) is expressed in the brain and ventral nerve cords of pre-parasitic juveniles (J2s).

Figure 2

Light microscopy in situ hybridisation images show Gp-flp-32 gene expression in the circumpharyngeal nerve ring (CNR) posterior to the stylet (S) and the pharyngeal bulb (PHB) of pre-parasitic juvenile (J2) G. pallida (A). Gp-flp-32 is also expressed in repeating groups of three to four cell bodies located in the ventral nerve cord (VNC; B and C) which runs posteriorly to the tail where a cluster of three cell bodies also expressing Gp-flp-32 are located in the region of the lumbar ganglia (LG; C and D). Scale bars: A–C = 12 µm; D = 5 µm.
