Abstract excerpt
Axial midline structures play a central role as signalling centres during the development of the vertebrate embryo. We have isolated mutant alleles of a new locus, one-eyed pinhead (oep), in the zebrafish that are characterized by cyclopia and impaired development of the floor plate. oep mutants fail to establish expression of axial (zebrafish HNF3beta) and sonic hedgehog in the midline of the neural plate but...
