The time required for positional signalling in the chick wing bud.
نویسنده
چکیده
An estimate of the time required for positional signalling in the chick wing bud was obtained by grafting irradiated quail polarizing regions to host wing buds and removing them at various times. Such polarizing regions must be present for at least 15 h to induce additional structures in the host wings. This results is discussed in terms of a diffusible morphogen model.

Positional signalling by Hensen's node when grafted to the chick limb bud.
Hensen's node from stage 4 to stage 10 shows polarizing activity when grafted to the anterior margin of the chick limb bud. It can specify additional digits though its action is somewhat attenuated when compared with the effect of a grafted polarizing region. At stage 10 the activity disappears from the node and is found both posterior to the node and in the future wing region of the flank. The...
متن کاملInhibition of Shh signalling in the chick wing gives insights into digit patterning and evolution
In an influential model of pattern formation, a gradient of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signalling in the chick wing bud specifies cells with three antero-posterior positional values, which give rise to three morphologically different digits by a self-organizing mechanism with Turing-like properties. However, as four of the five digits of the mouse limb are morphologically similar in terms of phalange...
متن کاملMaps of strength of positional signalling activity in the developing chick wing bud.
Tissue from the posterior margin of the developing limb bud, when grafted to the anterior margin, evokes the formation of a mirror-image limb duplication from the host tissue. We present maps of the spatial and temporal distribution of this signalling activity in the chick wing bud based on a bioassay that provides a quantitative measure of the completeness of the additional structures (the str...
متن کاملA test of positional properties of avian wing-bud mesoderm.
Supernumerary wing structures are readily produced by grafting pieces of wing-bud mesoderm into different locations of host wing buds, but the mechanism underlying their formation remains obscure. The major aim of this study was to examine the ability of posterior quail wing-bud mesoderm, cultured in vitro long enough to lose ZPA (zone of polarizing activity) activity, to stimulate or participa...
متن کاملHox-4 gene expression in mouse/chicken heterospecific grafts of signalling regions to limb buds reveals similarities in patterning mechanisms.
The products of Hox-4 genes appear to encode position in developing vertebrate limbs. In chick embryos, a number of different signalling regions when grafted to wing buds lead to duplicated digit patterns. We grafted tissue from the equivalent regions in mouse embryos to chick wing buds and assayed expression of Hox-4 genes in both the mouse cells in the grafts and in the chick cells in the res...
