Fig. S9 Larval head skeletons of floating head and notail mutants do not phenocopy cxcr4a or sdf1b morphants. Whole-mount (A–C, E–G) and dissected (D,H) alcian blue stained cartilage at 4.5 dpf, anterior to the top. Ventral cartilages of a wildtype or heterozygous larva (A). floating head (flt) (B) and notail (ntl) mutant larvae (F) show normal anterior ventral cartilage development, but are missing posterior ceratobranchials. floating head (C) and notail (G) mutant larvae form an ethmoid plate and trabeculae, but are missing the posterior neurocranium as compared to control neurocranium (E). Dissected neurocranium of floating head (D) and notail mutant larvae (H) showing a normal ethmoid plate. wt/het, wildtype or heterozygous; m, Meckel′s cartilage; ch, ceratohyal; cb1, 2, 3, ceratobranchial 1, 2, 3; ep, ethmoid plate; tr, tribeculae.
