Abstract excerpt
To obtain insights into the mechanisms of gastrulation and neural tube formation, we studied the function and regulation of expression of Hroth, the ascidian homologue of orthodenticle/otx, during embryogenesis. Microinjection of synthetic Hroth mRNA into fertilized eggs led to embryos with an expanded trunk and a reduced tail. In these embryos, development of notochord and muscle was effected. Also, Hroth...
