Developing facial primordia change shape substantially in stages leading up to primary palate formation. We investigated expansion of cell populations within each of the four facial primordia of chick embryos between HH-stages 20 and 28, by using DiI labelling. Populations of cells centred around th

Abstract
Seventyβnine chick embryos were examined by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to determine the mechanism of primary palatal development. Fusion between two discrete processes, the medial nasal and maxillary prominences, was found to be necessary for formation of a complete primary palate. This was one component of a threeβstage process that included: (1) invagination of the nasal pit prior to the appearance of the facial prominences; (2) fusion between the medial nasal and inaxillary processes caudal to the nasal groove; (3) rupture of the bucconasal membrane. The lateral nasal and maxillary prominences were found to be part of the same tissue mass. Mergence was proposed as a mechanism for the obliteration of the groove between these two localized prominences. These results were compared with those obtained by other authors for primary palate formation in rodents and man.

Retinoic acid is a good candidate for a morphogen in chick limb bud development. The challenge now is to determine how retinoic acid interacts with limb bud cells and how the retinoic acid signal is integrated with other signals to mould and pattern the developing limb.
