5- UTR of B. lanceolatum Hox9 and probes used in this study. (A) Scheme of the B. floridae Hox cluster with Hox11, Hox10, and Hox9 represented. The B. lanceolatum Hox9 transcripts consist of two different versions: a large one, with three 5′-UTR (in green) exons far upstream of the Hox9 locus, with its splicing shown at the top. A shorter one, with a canonical 5′-UTR next to the first exon of Hox9, is shown with its splicing represented at the bottom. Black vertical lines represent exons of the different Hox genes. (B) The transcripts of all the B. lanceolatum Hox genes found to be expressed in this study. Color-coded boxes represent exons: beige, coding sequences; white, UTRs; and red, homeoboxes. The lines under the transcripts represent the probes used: red, a negative probe; blue, a positive probe. The third exon of B. lanceolatum Hox11 has not yet been described, so it is represented with a dashed line and fainter colors.
