Wilhelm Roux' Archiv für Entwicklungsmechanik der Organismen Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The effects on Xenopus embryos of treatment for short periods with the sulphydryl inhibitor chlorocoetophenone (CAP) have been investigated. Abnormalities of the central nervous system and eyes are described, and compared with those obtained by other workers using various inhibitory treatments on amphibian embryos.
