Figure 5. Analysis of the Mych contribution to the morphology of the MZspg mutant phenotype.

Figure 5

Knockdown of Mych function in WT by injecting splice-blocking (A-D) or translation-blocking (E-H) morpholinos. Morphological analysis of injected (A,C,E,G) and non-injected (B,D,F,H) embryos at 90%-epiboly and 25 hpf. Morphants show neither a delay in epiboly (A, E) nor obvious morphological defects by 25 hours development (C, G). Rescue of Mych activity in MZspg mutants by injecting mych mRNA into 1-cell stage embryos (I-L). Mych alone is not able to rescue the strong defects developed by Pou5f1 deficient embryos during gastrulation (I) and after 25 hpf (K).
