Abstract
Morphogenetic movements occurring during formation of the primitive streak in the chick embryo are of a periodic nature, with a mean frequency of one pulse every 2·6 min. The period of the oscillatory movement is shown to be temperature-dependent. The onset of these pulses of movement can be seen as a slow wave starting at the posterior end of the embryo and making its way towards the anterior end. An interpretation of this behaviour is discussed.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
