The inducing capacity of the vegetal hemisphere of early amphibian blastulae was studied by placing a Nucleopore filter (pore size 0.4 μm) between isolated presumptive endoderm and animal (ectodermal) caps. The inducing effect was shown to traverse the Nucleopore membrane. The reacting ectoderm differentiated into mainly ventral mesodermal derivatives. Expiants consisting of five animal caps also formed dorsal mesodermal and neural structures. Those results together with data published elsewhere suggest that, in addition to a vegetalizing factor, different mesodermal factors must be taken into consideration for the induction of either the ventral or the dorsal mesodermal derivatives. The neural structures are thought to be induced by the primarily induced dorsal mesodermal tissue. Electron microscopic (TEM) examination did not reveal any cell processes in the pores of the filter. The results indicate that transmissible factors rather than signals via cytoplasmic contacts or gap junctions are responsible for the mesodermal induction of ectodermal cells. The data support the view that in normogenesis the mesoderm is determined by the transfer of inducing factors from vegetal blastomeres to cells of the marginal zone (presumptive mesodermal cells).
