Abstract.

Recent experiments on gene expression during lens regeneration in adult newts have revealed that both the regeneration-competent dorsal iris and the regeneration-incompetent ventral iris are quite active in expressing important regulatory genes. In this paper we outline some of the issues pertaining to this dorsal/ventral specificity and identity. (Part of a Multi-author Review)
