Simple in vitro system for molecular studies of early avian development in the quail.
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.
