The initiation of the limb bud: Growth factors, Hox genes, and retinoids
The undifferentiated vertebrate limb bud is a selforganizing system. If transplanted to a favorable ectopic location, the limb bud is capable of developing into a morphologically normal limb (Harrison, 1918), and the anterior-posterior polarity of the transplanted limb is determined by the graft rather than the host environment. Great progress has recently been made in understanding the molecul...
متن کاملAnalysis of Hox gene expression in the chick limb bud.
The vertebrate Hox genes have been shown to be important for patterning the primary and secondary axes of the developing vertebrate embryo. The function of these genes along the primary axis of the embryo has been generally interpreted in the context of positional specification and homeotic transformation of axial structures. The way in which these genes are expressed and function during the de...
متن کاملHox genes and growth: early and late roles in limb bud morphogenesis.
In recent years, molecular analysis has led to the identification of some of the key genes that control the morphogenesis of the developing embryo. Detailed functional analysis of these genes is rapidly leading to a new level of understanding of how embryonic form is regulated. Understanding the roles that these genes play in development can additionally provide insights into the evolution of m...
متن کاملGoosecoid misexpression alters the morphology and Hox gene expression of the developing chick limb bud
The homeobox-containing gene goosecoid (gsc) has been implicated in a variety of embryonic processes from gastrulation to rib patterning. We have analyzed the role it plays during chick limb development. Expression is initially observed at stage 20 in a proximal-anterior-ventral domain of the early limb bud which expands during subsequent stages. Later in limb development a second domain of exp...
متن کاملAntagonistic action of strigolactone and cytokinin in bud outgrowth control.
Cytokinin (CK) has long been implicated as a promoter of bud outgrowth in plants, but exactly how this is achieved in coordination with other plant hormones is unclear. The recent discovery of strigolactones (SLs) as the long-sought branch-inhibiting hormone allowed us to test how CK and SL coordinately regulate bud outgrowth in pea (Pisum sativum). We found that SL-deficient plants are more se...
