Abstract excerpt

The mutant strain reg-16 of Hydra magnipapillata has less capacity to regenerate a head than the wild-type strain 105 when examined in a standard test. The present comparative study with various strains of Hydra shows: (1) The head-forming potential of reg-16 and also of a widely used strain of H...
