Summary Quail-to-chick grafting experiments were performed on 2-day embryos in order to test the differentiating abilities of the somatopleure. After orthotopic and heterotopic transplantations of different parts of quail somatopleural mesoderm into chick embryos it is demonstrated that avian somatopleural cells differentiate into skeletal elements, smooth muscles, tendons and connective tissues. However, skeletal muscle fibres do not originate from somatopleural cells.
