Movie 3.

hoxb1b morphant cells transplanted to the lateral germ ring margin exhibited delayed ingression compared with those of the control. Time-lapse fluorescence movie visualizing cell ingression of control (green) and hoxb1b morphant (magenta) cells transplanted to the lateral germ ring margin at the 40% epiboly stage. Imaging was started at the 50% epiboly stage (lateral view). Cell membranes of host embryo were labelled by injection of memRFP mRNA. Time interval, 4 min 47 sec. Duration, 3 hours 6 min. Scale bar, 100 μm.

Hoxb genes determine the timing of cell ingression by regulating cell surface fluctuations during zebrafish gastrulation
