MyoD expression in the forming somites is an early response to mesoderm induction in Xenopus embryos.
- N. Hopwood, A. Pluck, J. Gurdon
- BiologyEMBO Journal
- 1 November 1989
We describe the cloning, cDNA sequence and embryonic expression of a Xenopus homologue of MyoD, a mouse gene encoding a DNA‐binding protein that can activate muscle gene expression in cultured cells.…

A Xenopus mRNA related to Drosophila twist is expressed in response to induction in the mesoderm and the neural crest

Eomesodermin, a Key Early Gene in Xenopus Mesoderm Differentiation

Xiro3 encodes a Xenopus homolog of the Drosophila Iroquois genes and functions in neural specification

It is suggested that Xiro3 activation constitutes one of the earliest steps in the development of the neural plate and that it functions in the specification of a neural precursor state.
The Xenopus T-box gene, Antipodean, encodes a vegetally localised maternal mRNA and can trigger mesoderm formation.
- F. Stennard, G. Carnac, J. Gurdon
- BiologyDevelopment
- 1 December 1996
It is demonstrated that Antipodean and Eomesodermin induce each other and both are able to induce Xbrachyury, and this result suggests that the expression of these T-box genes may be under the control of different regulatory pathways.
Injected nuclei in frog oocytes: fate, enlargement, and chromatin dispersal.

- BiologyJournal of embryology and experimental morphology
- 1 December 1976
Nuclei prepared by the above method look morphologically healthy in oocytes cultured in vitro for up to one month after nuclear injection, compared with other methods, such as those involving the use of detergents, which undergo deterioration within a few days after injection into oocytes.
Xenopus Myf-5 marks early muscle cells and can activate muscle genes ectopically in early embryos.
- N. Hopwood, A. Pluck, J. Gurdon
- BiologyDevelopment
- 1 February 1991
The results suggest that XMyf5 acts together with XMyoD as one of the set of genes regulating the earliest events of myogenesis, additional factors being required for complete muscle differentiation.
The developmental capacity of nuclei taken from intestinal epithelium cells of feeding tadpoles.
- J. Gurdon
- BiologyJournal of embryology and experimental morphology
- 1 December 1962
An important problem in embryology is whether the differentiation of cells depends upon a stable restriction of the genetic information contained in their nuclei, and whether the nuclei of differentiating cells can promote the formation of different cell types.
