Expression patterns of MvSPILE genes in the A/C-clade, including MvSPILE-6 (a–i), MvSPILE-10 (j–r), MvSPILE-7 (s–aa), MvSPILE-8 (bb–jj), and MvSPILE-9 (kk–tt). DNA was stained using DAPI (light blue). Polar bodies are indicated by arrowheads with the letter ‘P’. n and o, w and x, ff and gg, nn and oo, pp and qq are different individuals of the same stage, respectively. The expression patterns of each gene are illustrated in diagrams on the right (g, p, y, hh, and rr, 4-cell; h, q, z, ii, and ss, 8-cell; i, r, aa, jj, and tt, 16-cell). SV side view, AV animal view, VV vegetal view. Scale bar indicates 50 μm
