Abstract
An Erratum has been published for this article in Luminescence (2003) 18(4) 243 During the past 5 years, green fluorescent protein (GFP) has become one of the most widely used in vivo protein markers for studying a number of different molecular processes during development, such as promoter activation, gene expression, protein trafficking and cell lineage determination. GFP fluorescence allows observation of dynamic developmental processes in real time, in both transiently and stably transformed cells, as well as in live embryos. In this review, we include the most up‐to‐date use of GFP during embryonic development and point out the unique contribution of GFP visualization, which resulted in novel discoveries.
