Abstract excerpt
The zebrafish masterblind (mbl) mutant is characterized by the lack of olfactory placodes and optic vesicles, reduced telencephalon, an expanded epiphysis (Heisenberg et al. [1996] Development 123:191-203), and enlarged jaw. To understand the cellular events giving rise to the olfactory placode defect of this mutant, we examined the expression pattern of the distal-less-3 (dlx3) gene in mbl. In the mutant, dlx3,...
