title: The morphogenetic action of follicle-stimulating hormone on post-nodal fragments of early chick blastoderms.
abstract: The morphogenetic action of ovine follicle-stimulating hormone has been studied. The hormone is incorporated in known concentrations in agar-albumen-compton base and post-nodal fragments of primitivestreak stage chick blastoderms 0.7 mm behind theHENSEN'S node are cultured on the base for 35-45 hours. The hormone is found to induce the formation of neural tissue, notochord-like tissue and mesodermal aggregations resembling somites.
