Fig. 3. Expression of Nv-stg.

Fig. 3

a-d White, DAPI (DNA). a′-d′ green, Nv-stg mRNA. (a-a′) Embryo in division cycle 1. Nv-string mRNA is maternally loaded and is ubiquitous throughout the embryo. (b-b′) Embryo in division cycle 12. Maternal Nv-string mRNA is lost. (c-c′) Embryo in late division cycle 12. Zygotic Nv-string is first seen. (d-d′) Gastrulation. Nv-string mRNA is seen in all nuclei. (e) qRT-PCR of Nv-string normalized to housekeeping gene, Rpo49. Maternal Nv-string levels steadily decrease throughout the syncytial stages. 0-2 hours is representative of pre-blastoderm embryos; 2-4 hours is representative of middle blastoderm embryos; 4-6 hours is representative of late blastoderm and cellularized embryos.
