Abstract

After a single administration of ^3^H‐reserpine, 10 ΞΌgm, 2.5 ΞΌCi, into the yolk of fertilized chicken eggs, gross radioactivity (reserpine plus degradation products) and the unchanged labeled drug, separated by thin layer chromatography, were assayed on the 8th and 19th day of incubation. Nanogram per gram concentrations of unchanged ^3^H‐reserpine were recovered at both times. The ^3^H‐reserpine recovered in the whole egg on the 8th day of incubation accounted for up to 20% of the administered dose. On the 19th day of incubation, brain showed the largest share (28%) of ^3^H‐reserpine as a percentage of gross radioactivity of all organs investigated. Reserpine underwent considerable biodegradation in the developing chick embryo, but the concentrations of unchanged drug recovered in embryonal tissues throughout development were of the same order as those persisting in target organs of rats given a pharmacological dose of reserpine.

Initiation of the primitive streak in avian embryos provides a well-studied example of a pattern-forming event that displays a striking capacity for regulation. The mechanisms underlying the regulative properties are, however, poorly understood and are not easily accounted for by traditional models

Morris (J. Anat., 1976;121:47-64) proposed that the subepicardial mesenchyme might represent a continuing source of myocardioblasts during embryonic and fetal development. Recent studies have shown that the epicardium and subepicardial mesenchyme, and the coronary vasculature are all derived from a

Cranial neural fold fusion in the chick embryo is known to commence in the midbrain region before progressing cranially and caudally to involve the fore-and hindbrain regions, respectively. The two epithelial layers at the tips of the neural folds that participate in fusion are the surface ectoderm
