title: Neural differentiation of amphibian gastrula ectoderm exposed to phorbol ester.
abstract: Ectoderm from early gastrula stages of amphibians was isolated and treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. The ectoderm formed neural tissue and in a few cases also mesenchyme and melanophores. The control explants formed atypical epidermis. In explants treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate the mitotic rate was increased.
