Abstract
SummaryOur study indicates that ovaries and testes, from larvae of Xenopus laevis, placed in organ cultures show progressive development, but gonads removed from larvae prior to or during time of sex differentiation do not differentiate in vitro. Older larval testes retain their normal male characteristics even on a medium containing estradiol. Chorionic gonadotropins stimulate rete apparatus of both ovaries and testes in organ cultures as well as in intact animals.
