Abstract excerpt
Fragments of the neural primordium of a new Notch mutant of Drosophila melanogaster produced in our laboratory were transplanted into the neural tube of embryos of 4 amphibian species (caudate and ecaudate) immediately after completion of neurulation. The grafts were identified by using a light m...
