...-dwelling morph of Astyanax mexicanus . Focusing on the lens and olfactory placodes, we found a trade-off between these two sensory components in the two morphs: from neural plate stage onwards, cavefish have larger olfactory placodes and smaller lens placodes. In a search for developmental mechanisms...

... function of miR-34b, especially in regulating organ formation, is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that miR-34b expression is enriched in kidney MCCs and the olfactory placode in zebrafish. Inhibiting miR-34b function using morpholino antisense oligonucleotides disrupted kidney proximal tubule...

... tube and epidermis. Here, Dlx3, Dlx5, Pax6 and the pan-neuronal marker Hu serve as molecular labels to follow the maturation of olfactory precursors over time. When competence to form olfactory placode was tested by grafting ectoderm from different axial levels to the anterior neural fold, we found...

..., no mutation is known to prevent sensory placode formation. Thus, it has been postulated that a functional redundancy exists in the genetic mechanisms that govern sensory placode development. We describe a zebrafish deletion mutation, b380 , which results in a lack of both otic and olfactory placodes. The b380...

...Elise Cau; Gérard Gradwohl; Simona Casarosa; Ryoichiro Kageyama; François Guillemot ABSTRACT We have characterised the functions of the bHLH transcriptional repressors HES1 and HES5 in neurogenesis, using the development of the olfactory placodes in mouse embryos as a model. Hes1 and Hes5...

... in Xenopus , the expression remains confined in the derivatives of this territory which differentiate into rostromedial olfactory placode, optic nerve and disc, and anterior ventral forebrain. Together, these observations suggest that Vax1 could have an early evolutionary origin and could participate...
