Figure 4

BMP2 regulation of bovine early embryonic development. Effects of exogenous BMP2 treatment (0, 1, 10, 100 ng/ml) during first 72 h of in vitro embryo culture. (n = 30 embryos/treatment; n = 4 replicates) on proportion of early cleaving embryos that reached the two-cell stage within 30 hours post insemination (hpi) (A), total cleavage rate (determined 48 hpi) (B), rates of development to 8- to 16-cell stage (determined 72 hpi) (C) d7 blastocyst rates (D) and blastocyst mRNA abundance for NANOG (E) and CDX2 (F). Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Values with different superscripts across treatments indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
