The morphogenetic action of follicle-stimulating hormone on post-nodal fragments of early chick blastoderms

Summary The morphogenetic action of ovine follicle-stimulating hormone has been studied. The hormone is incorporated in known concentrations in agar-albumen-compton base and post-nodal fragments of primitivestreak stage chick blastoderms 0.7 mm behind theHensen's node are cultured on the base for 35–45 hours. The hormone is found to induce the formation of neural tissue, notochord-like tissue and mesodermal aggregations resembling somites.
