Fig. 6. cyp26b1 mutants and morphants display precocious and increased ossification of vertebral centra in the developing vertebral column.

(A–K) Alizarin Red stainings of zebrafish larvae of genotype indicated in the upper right corners and at stages indicated in the lower right corners. (A–F, I–K) Lateral views; (G, H) transverse sections. Arrows in A indicate time course of centra ossification, starting at centra 3/4. In contrast to the segmented ossification of the wild-type larva (A, D, I, K), the cyp26b1 mutant (C, J) and morphant (F) show uniform and caudally extended perichordal ossification.
