klf2a expression patterns in developing zebrafish embryos.
(A) klf2a expression patterns were examined using whole-mount in situ hybridisation. Grey arrowheads indicate cloaca, black arrows indicate cells lateral to the most posterior notochord, white arrows indicate pectoral fin, red arrows indicate trunk vasculature, black arrowheads indicate the cardiac outflow tract, white arrowheads indicate neuromasts and green arrows indicate subintestinal veins (3dpf) or hepatic portal vein (5dpf). Numbers in the top left corners indicate number of embryos with similar staining patterns out of total number of embryos examined. Scale bar = 500μm. (B) Cross sections of a 48hpf wildtype embryo showing klf2a expression in dorsal aorta (red arrow), parachordal vessel (black arrow), intersegmental vessel (ISV) (black arrowhead) and dorsal longitudinal anastomotic vessel (DLAV) (dotted black arrow). Anatomical positions of sections are indicated by the red lines and numbers on the top panel figure with corresponding cross sections images in the bottom panel. Scale bar = 500μm (top panel) and 100μm (bottom panel).
