Fig. 4. SpPks and SpFmo1 antisense morpholino oligonucleotide injected embryos.
(A-C) Aboral view of prism stage embryos injected with 200 µM antisense
morpholino oligonucleotide against the SpPks (B) and the
SpFmo1 (C) genes and with a 200 µM random sequence morpholino
oligonucleotide (A). The embryos injected with the SpPks and
SpFmo1 morpholinos did not show accumulation of the echinochrome
pigment. (D-F) Whole mount in situ hybridization with antisense RNA
DIG-labeled probe for SpSult on prism stage embryos injected with a
random sequence morpholino oligonucleotide (D), or with the SpPks (E)
or the SpFmo (F) morpholino oligonucleotides. (E,F) Pigment cells are
present in embryos lacking SpPKS or SpFMO.
