| Abstract: | Dissociation and reassociation experiments were carried out to study the inductive ability of mesenchyme of the oesophagus, gizzard and intestine of the chicken embryo, using 3-day-old quail embryonic allantoic endoderm as an effector tissue. The mesenchyme of the oesophagus and gizzard possesses inductive ability until the Ilth day of incubation. Thereafter, it no longer has inductive influence upon the allantoic endoderm. The intestinal mesenchyme was favourable to differentiation of allantoic endoderm into intestinal epithelium even on the I5th day of incubation. In all types of recombination tested, goblet cells differentiated among allantoic endodermal cells. |
