... the specification of the dorsoventral axis and the bilateral axis was examined experimentally. In other species when the dorsal and ventral halves of early echinoderm embryos (preblastula) are separated, the dorsal half often reverses (180°) its dorsoventral axis.

We report here that the dorsoventral polarity of the sea urchin embryo can be disrupted by treatment of embryos with NiCl 2 . Lytechinus...
