Experimental asymmetries of the head of Euplanaria dorotocephala.
Physiol Zool 9(3): 278-292

Abstract / Notes

Experiments dealing with the reconstitution of the head of Euplanaria dorotocephala following anterior-oblique section, with and without parallel posterior-oblique half-section, as well as other similar experiments indicate that physiological factors influencing the symmetry of the developing head are (1) the anteroposterior physiological differential and (2) factors originating at the posterior cut surface which inhibit the activation and dedifferentiation of the head-forming cells.
