title: Simple in vitro system for molecular studies of early avian development in the quail.
abstract: 1. The development of quail embryos incubated in ovo and cultured in vitro was compared in terms of basic morphological and biochemical criteria. 2. Blastoderm culture in vitro may be a convenient system for investigation of molecular aspects of early development.
