Figure 5. Effect of mutations that disrupt egg activation on bcd localization in the early embryo.
Single confocal sections of the anterior of early embryos expressing bcd*GFP in (A,D) wild type, (B,C) sraA108/sra687, (E) cortQW55/cortRH65, and (F) grau mutant embryos. bcd mRNA remains associated with the anterior cortex in large foci in sra mutant embryos but is disperse in cort and grau mutant embryos.
