Early Development movies
Histone 2B GFP
Made RNA
Injected embryos at the 1-cell stage
Imaged with Digital Scanned Laser Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy(capture whole embryo image every 60-90s)
Produced a “digital embryo”

Divisions symmetric prior to 512-cell
Divisions asymmetric after 512-cell
Radial waves just after 512-cell

Two major Questions
• How are the germ layers established?
• What determines polarity?
Signaling from the YSL
Nodal mutant
wild-type sqt;cyc -/-
No endodermNo head & trunk mesoderm
Movie 6
Normally ~1550 cells internalize; in MZoep ~60 internalize
Germ layer patterning
YSL signal Sqt and Cyc Endoderm Head and Trunk Mesoderm
Tail mesoderm
Dorsal-ventral patterning
Shield(Organizer)
Bozozok
The Organizer
Shield(Organizer)
Bmp promotes ventral fates
Organizer signals are BMP binding factors: Noggin, Chordin
Bmp signals promote ventral fates (skin, ventral mesoderm) and oppose dorsal fates (neural, dorsal mesoderm)
Mutants in the dorsal-ventral pathway
Snailhouse (snh)= bmp7 mutant
Chordino (din)= chordin mutant
Bmp regulates cell movement
High Bmp Low Bmp
