Abstract
The Hensen node area can, if grafted, produce pigment in host feathers. The node apparently retains its pigment-forming ability as long as it is capable of differentiating nervous tissue. As the embryo ages, the pigment-forming potency becomes restricted to the neural crest.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
