Abstract
⺠The zebrafish ventral to dorsal BMP activity gradient is established by 40% epiboly. ⺠Graded expression of BMP ligands precedes the formation of the activity gradient. ⺠There is no evidence that BMP2B protein diffuses to form the BMP activity gradient. ⺠The BMP activity gradient is determined by graded ligand expression. ⺠Graded bmp2b transcription is due to temporal regulation by Dharma, FGF, and Chordin.
