Figure 2
Expression of AfaMox1 during early mesoderm formation in Acanthochitona fascicularis. (B, D, F, H, J) are schematic representations of gene expression patterns of the respective developmental stages with gene expression domains indicated in purple and the ventrolateral muscle in green. (A) The gastrula is devoid of AfaMox1 expression. (B) Lateral right view. (C–F) AfaMox1 expression in the early trochophore larva. (C) AfaMox1 is expressed in the mesodermal bands. (D) Ventral view. (E) Lateral right view of AfaMox1 expression in the mesodermal bands. (F) Lateral right view. (G–J) AfaMox1 expression in the late trochophore larva. (G) AfaMox1 expression in the ventrolateral muscle. (H) Ventral view. (I) Lateral right view of AfaMox1 expression in the ventrolateral muscle. (J) Lateral right view. Asterisks mark the blastopore and the mouth, respectively. a anterior, d dorsal, l left, p posterior, r right, v ventral. Scale bar equals 20 µm. Expression pattern schemes were designed with Inkscape (version 0.92.4; https://inkscape.org) and Gimp 2 (Version 2.8.22; https://www.gimp.org).
