Cover Legend

Larvae of Xenopus laevis on the left column were injected in the right dorsal blastomere at the eight cell stage simultaneously with XMLP- and LacZ-RNA, indicated by the blue staining. There is a strong reduction of the eye-anlage in contrast to the non-injected side as shown in the right column. For more details see the article by Zhao et al. in the present issue.
