Figure 4

Expression patterns of MleSox3 and MleSox4 during development. Panels A, B, E, and F are lateral views, while panels C, D, G, and H are aboral views (denoted by ‘Ab’). (A, C) MleSox3 in situ hybridization of embryos 9 to 14 hpf. (B, D) MleSox3 in situ hybridization of cydippids 24 hpf. (B) MleSox3 expression in the upper pharynx (white arrow), apical organ (black arrowhead), and in four distinct regions of the upper tentacle bulbs (white arrowheads). (D) MleSox3 expression in four distinct regions of the upper tentacle bulbs (white arrowheads), and two main cell groups of the apical organ (black arrows). (E, G) MleSox4 in situ hybridization of embryos 9 to 14 hpf. (F, H) MleSox4 in situ hybridization of cydippids 24 hpf. (F) MleSox4 expression in the pharynx (white arrow), tentacle bulbs (white arrowheads), and apical organ (black arrowhead). (H) MleSox4 expression in the comb rows (black arrows), the tentacle bulbs (white arrowheads), and apical organ (black arrowhead).
