Abstract
Experimental embryology has long accustomed us to think both of the competence of the responding system and the nature of the signal which induces it to respond. It is evident that the selection of a system which may be readily manipulated and in which important products are readily characterisable is a prerequisite for the application of the techniques which will enable us to study the molecular basis for competence, the nature of the signals and the characteristics of the response.
