Abstract excerpt
In early vertebrate eye development, the retinal anlage is specified in the anterior neuroectoderm. During neurulation, the optic vesicles evaginate from the lateral wall of the prosencephalon. Here we describe the temperature-sensitive mutation eyeless in the Japanese medakafish. Marker gene analysis indicates that, whereas, specification of two retinal primordia and proximodistal patterning takes place in the...
