Article Description

Embryonic development of the mammalian eye has not been studied in such great detail as that of the avian eye, and preliminary observations have suggested that the sequence of events may differ. It is therefore likely that the relative importance of the cell and tissue interactions involved also differs and it would be interesting to compare these two systems. The pupoid foetus mutation in the mouse shows disruption of eye development due to abnormal epidermal properties and so the relative importance of individual events in triggering subsequent development can be studied by seeing what happens when the situation is modified in the mutant. The behaviour of the pupoid foetus epidermal cells in the interactive system of the eye may also help to further characterise the phenotype of the mutation. © 1987 Springer-Verlag.
