Abstract
SUMMARY: Two strains of poultry selected for high growth-rate were found to have an anomalous lens morphology indicating a failure of the normal process of growth regulation. The implications for lens fibre differentiation are discussed, as are the implications for genetic selection for growth-rate.Keywords
