Tissue recombination studies are used to address whether the failure of lens formation in homozygous Sey rats is attributable to a lack of signalling from optic vesicle tissue or is intrinsic to lens ectoderm. Ectoderm from homozygous mutant rats fails to differentiate into lens even when placed in contact with heterozygous Sey or wild-type rat optic vesicle. In contrast, lens tissue forms when heterozygous or wild-type ectoderm is placed in contact with mutant optic vesicle, suggesting that Pax-6 is required for lens development independent of the optic vesicle.
