Inductive interactions:
veg2-to lower-veg1 signal
INDUCER: | veg2 |
TARGET: | veg1 |
STAGE: | Mid-cleavage - mid-blastula |
INDUCTION OUTCOME: | specification of endodermal veg1 components |
PROOFS: | veg2 + mesomere combinations generate a complete tripartite gut, in contrast, veg1 cannot similarly recruit mesomeres and, if combined with mesomeres, it, at best produces a small invagination |
SPECIES: | Lytechinus variegatus |
