Abstract:
Long strips of trunk neural fold, without underlying mesoderm, were isolated from several Triturus species and wrapped into gastrula ectoderm. The explants developed mainly spinal cord, rhombencephalon, melanophores, loose mesenchyme, mesenchymal condensations and, in a few cases, limb buds. Correlations between neural crest and limb development are probable.
