From: Transcriptome sequencing of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) notochord prior to development of the vertebrae provides clues to regulation of positional fate, chordoblast lineage and mineralisation

Figure 1

Salmon notochord sampling scheme and morphology. (A) Notochord sampling at three developmental stages calculated in day degrees (d°) (T1:510 ± 20 d°, T2: 610 ± 20 d°, T3: 710 ± 20 d°), and further division into segments (A: anterior, M: mid, P: posterior) along the longitudinal axis. (B) A freshly dissected notochord sample, from stage T3. Stereoscope photo, scale bar: 500 um. (C, D): Scanning electron micrographs of dissected notochord. Notice the smooth, sheath-free surface and the large central chordocytes and the epithelium germ layer (chordoblasts) in transverse section (D). Scale bar: 400 um in (C) and 100 um in (D).
