Figure 5. Disrupted PCP reduces Nodal-induced cell polarization and C and E within explants.

Figure 5.

(A) Representative confocal micrographs of live membrane-labeled explants of the indicated conditions at the equivalent of the 2–4 somite stage from two independent trials. (B) Representative bright-field images of blastoderm explants at 2–4S from four independent trials. (C) Explant cell alignment as in Figure 1. The number of explants in each condition is indicated on the corresponding panel in (A). Mediolateral (ML) is defined as orthogonal to the axis of extension. (D, E) Length/width ratios (D) and length (E) of explants depicted in (B). Each dot represents a single explant, black bars are median values. The number of explants in each condition is indicated on the corresponding panel in (B). p<0.0001; Kruskal-Wallis test. Scale bar is 50 μm in (A), 200 μm in (B).
