Abstract: | SYNOPSIS. The embryonic chick limb bud is a growing organ rudimentwhose undifferentiated cells give rise to a precise spatialpattern of differentiated structures. The establishment of positionalvalues of chick limb bud cells (pattern specification) and theresponse of limb bud cells with established positional valuesto experimental perturbations (pattern regulation) are the majortopics considered in this paper. The results of recent experimentswith developing chick limb buds analyzing pattern specificationand pattern regulation are presented. These studies with thechick limb are described in light of the postulates of a modelthat was originally formulated from experiments performed onregenerating amphibian and insect appendages. |
