This picture is from Schnabel et al 1997 Dev. Biol. 184:234-265.  

These panels are unpublished images of myoD expression through development.

Early development

MyoD expression - intermediate development   MyoD expression - comma stage
MyoD expression - two-fold stage   This picture is from Moerman et al 1996 Dev. Biol.173:228. It shows the migration of muscle cells from their lateral position in the embryo to their final positions where they will form the dorsal and ventral muscle quadrants on the left side of the animal.
