Investigates MyoD expression patterns in zebrafish embryos with different developmental pathways, suggesting key regulatory mechanisms.

The research aims to explore the expression patterns of the MyoD gene in zebrafish embryos, particularly in wild-type and mutant varieties.
Isolated the MyoD gene in zebrafish.
Analyzed MyoD expression during different developmental phases in wild-type, no tail, and spadetail embryos.
Assessed the impact of Sonic hedgehog on MyoD expression in paraxial mesoderm.
In wild-type embryos, MyoD expression occurs from mid-gastrula to prior to somite formation.
Early MyoD expression is absent in ntl and spt embryos, but later expression in somites is normal in ntl mutants.
The potential for MyoD expression in paraxial mesoderm is lost in no tail and spadetail mutants.

Weinberg et al. (1996) studied this question.
