Correcting the phenotype of the epidermis from chick embryos homozygous for the gene scaleless (sc/sc)

McAleese SR and RH Sawyer

Scutate scales are completely missing in the scaleless (sc/sc) mutant chicken. Organ cultures consisting of epidermis from sc/sc embryos combined with normal (+/+) scale dermis of the same developmental age produce the scaleless phenotype, but the same scaleless epidermis in combination with normal dermis from more differentiated embryonic scales forms perfectly normal scales.
