Simulation of growth inhibition experiment. (A) Ventral view of model during stages HH7+ to HH10 with growth turned off. Green and red regions represent anterior intestinal portal region and heart field, respectively. Compare with model for control embryo in Fig. 6. (B) Plot of normalized oSPL length (L/L0) versus stage. Experimental results for control embryos (n=4) and embryos exposed to aphidicolin (n=7, mean±s.d.; beginning at HH7+) are compared with model predictions for normal growth and no growth, respectively.
