Inductive interactions:
veg1-to-veg1 signal
INDUCER: | veg1 |
TARGET: | veg1 |
STAGE: | Mid-cleavage - mid-blastula |
INDUCTION OUTCOME: | promotion of endoderm gene expression within the veg1 domain |
PROOFS: | A single veg2 blastomere combined with veg1 tier in veg1-mesomere recombinants suffices in some embryos for the formation from the veg1 cells of a complete archenteron |
SPECIES: | Strongylocentrotus purpuratus |
COMMENTS: | One veg2 blastomere contacts with one or two of veg1 blastomeres, thus they must communicate with one another |
