We have examined the ability of the scaleless (sc/sc) backskin dermis (6 to 16 days of incubation) to regulate pattern formation using the presumptive scutate scale epidermis from 11-day normal embryos as the responding tissue. Prior to 8 days of incubation the sc/sc backskin dermis is able to induce hexagonally patterned and uniformly oriented feather germs in normal epidermis. This ability is lost during day 8...
