✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Homozygosity for gene c in Ambystoma mexicanum results in no detectable heartbeat in situ. Alteration of the cardiac environment through organ culture results in rapid initiation of spontaneous heartbeat, indicating that absence of cardiac function in situ is not the result of failure of embryonic induction.

The formation of functional, rhythmically contracting myocardial tissue was used as an assay. We have found that heart‐forming mesoderm is fully induced and capable of completing it

We isolated a neonatal skeletal myosin heavy chain (MHC) cDNA clone, CV11E1, from a cDNA library of embryonic chick ventricle. At early cardiogenesis, diffuse expression of neonatal skeletal MHC mRNA was first detected in the heart tube at stage 10. During subsequent embryonic stages, the expression
