The control of mealanoblast differentiation in the periodic albino mutant of Xenopus.

MacMillan GJ .


Abstract
Studies on the incidence of melanophores in older ventral trunk tissues and in isolated regions of periodic albino embryos of Xenopus suggest that melanin granule formation in mutant melanoblasts depends on an environmental contribution which arises at stage 43 in the endodermal tissues.
