Abstract
Repopulation of epithelial (colchicine-treated) planular tissue by interstitial cells, nematoblasts/nematocytes, and ganglionic cells was examined via grafting. Seventy-two-hour epithelial planular head pieces were grafted to 72-hour control labelled planular tail pieces, left in contact for 24 h, separated, and the head pieces were analyzed for interstitial cells and their derivatives. The reciprocal experiment of grafting 72-hour epithelial planular tails to 72-hour control labelled planular heads was also done and the tail pieces were examined. Repopulated planular head pieces contained interstitial cells, ganglionic cells and a reforming neural plexus but few nematoblasts/nematocytes. Reconstituted planular tail pieces contained interstitial cells and nematoblasts/nematocytes but no ganglionic cells. Results possibly suggest that the migrating interstitial cell population of 72-hour planulae is rich in committed precursors.
