Figure 3From: Germ cell specification and ovary structure in the rotifer Brachionus plicatilisExpression of Bpvas RNA in the Brachionus ovary. (A-C) Expression of Bpvas RNA at three stages of oocyte provisioning. Bpvas RNA (blue) is present at low levels in the vitellarium and at higher levels in the germ-cell cluster and higher still in the oocyte. Scale bars indicate 100 μm, anterior to the top. (D) Magnification of an ovary showing Bpvas expression. Scale bar is 50 μm.Back to article page
