Fig 2. The posterior maternal system and formation of the maternal Hb gradient in M. abdita.

Fig 2

(A,B) Expression of nos mRNA in wild-type embryos at C5 (A) and C10 (B). (C,D) Hb protein expression (D) resembles the mRNA pattern (C) at late blastoderm stage (C14A-T5). (E) An anterior gradient of Hb protein can be observed during cleavage and early blastoderm stages (shown for C12). (F) This gradient is abolished in embryos treated with nos RNAi. Images show colorimetric in situ hybridisation (A–C) or antibody staining (D–F). Embryo images show lateral views: anterior is to the left, dorsal is up. Time classes according to [56] are indicated at bottom left in each panel.
