mortality/aging
• embryos in advanced stage of resorption by E10.5
|
embryo
• no evidence of mesoderm cells at E7.5
|
• initiation of gastrulation is about 1 day late
• homozygotes reach the advanced egg cylinder stage around E7.5
|
• although anterior-posterior patterning is initiated, about 1 day late, no clearly defined axis exists at E8.5
|
• at E7.5, embryos were half normal size
|
• formation of paraxial mesoderm is deficient
|
• an amnionic cavity is not obvious at E7.5
|
• surrounded by a mass of necrotic cells
