Fig. 5From: Remnants of ancestral larval eyes in an eyeless mollusk? Molecular characterization of photoreceptors in the scaphopod Antalis entalisPutative sensory epithelia in the hyposphere of the scaphopod trochophore. Anterior faces up and ventral to the left in all aspects. See Fig. 4 for description of other expression domains of respective genes. The asterisk labels the mouth. a Dach is expressed in the region of the cerebral ganglia (cg), the pavilion (pv), the anterolateral and posterior foot (arrowhead), the posterior dorsal mantle region (arrows), and the lateral foot. b Two pax6+ flask-shaped cells are part of the lateral apical organ (black arrow) and two pax6+ cells are located in the posterior foot (white-lined arrowhead). c Rpgr is expressed in the trochoblasts of the prototroch and cells of the pavilion. d Eya is expressed in cells of the pavilion, the posterior ventral mantle (white-lined arrows), and the posterior foot (arrowhead). e MyoV+ cells are located in the ventral mantle (arrow) and the pavilion. f Six1/2+ cells are located in the posterior ventral mantle (arrow) and the posterior foot (arrowhead) as well as the inner pavilion. pt prototroch.
