[Effect of concanavalin A on the development of blastulae in Pleurodeles waltlii (Amphibia, Urodeles)].
The effect of concanavalin A (con A) on Pleurodeles waltlii blastulae was studied by incubating the eggs in presence of lectin. It was found that the protein exercised an inhibitory effect upon morphogenesis. This inhibition was concentration dependent. In certain cases, the inhibitory effect of con A was attenuated by alpha-D-methyl-mannose (0,05 M).
