Figure 5

Developmental expression of Amgalaxin-like 1. (A-C) Expression begins in a zone of strong expression at the aboral end of the planula. At the margins of this zone the expressing cells are no longer contiguous (arrows). (D-F) After settlement the zone of expression on the aboral side of the polyp expands as the polyp ages. (G-H) The zone of expression then begins to fragment segmentally, eventually leaving a few traces of expression centrally as well as a submarginal ring of expression (I). Planulae are shown in lateral view with the aboral end to the right. (D-I) are aboral views.
