a & b Hemotoxylin and eosin staining on e14.5 sagittal sections a Wild type b P0-cre; β-cat fx/fx, arrow indicates the end of cartilage plate that will form the sphenoid bone. c–j Immunostaining for β-CATENIN (green) on e14.5 sagittal sections, counterstained with DAPI (blue) c–f Wild type, boxed regions in c are magnified in d, e, and f. d Region highlighting the ventral diencephalon e Region highlighting the neural crest derived mesenchyme. f Region highlighting the pituitary anterior lobe. g–j P0-cre; β-cat fx/fx, boxed regions in g are magnified in h, i, and j. h Region highlighting the ventral diencephalon. i Region highlighting the neural crest derived mesenchyme. j Region highlighting the pituitary anterior lobe. Scale bars equal 100 μm for a–c and g. Scale bars equal 50 μm for d–f and h–j
