Figure 2From: Germ plasm in Eleutherodactylus coqui, a direct developing frog with large eggsPGCs in embryo sections. (A) PGCs are present in the dorsal mesentery (arrow) which attaches the yolky endoderm to the rest of the body of this TS8 embryo. The inset shows an enlargement with three PGCs in the mesentery. (B) At TS9, yolk-filled PGCs are clumped in the prospective genital ridges (arrow), ventral to the dorsal aorta. The inset shows an enlargement of this region.Back to article page
