The cardiogenic potency of cells in the epiblast of the early primitive-streak stage (early PS) embryo was tested by heterotopic transplantation. The results of this study show that cells in the anterior and posterior epiblast of the early PS-stage embryos have similar cardiogenic potency, and that they differentiated to heart cells after they were transplanted directly to the heart field of the late PS embryo. That the epiblast cells can acquire a cardiac fate without any prior act of ingression through the primitive streak or movement within the mesoderm suggests that neither morphogenetic event is critical for the specification of the cardiogenic fate. The mesodermal cells that have recently ingressed through the primitive streak can express a broad cell fate that is characteristic of the pre-ingressed cells in the host when they were returned to the epiblast. However, mesoderm cells that have ingressed through the primitive streak did not contribute to the lateral plate mesoderm after transplantation back to the epiblast, implying that some restriction of lineage potency may have occurred during ingression. Early PS stage epiblast cells that were transplanted to the epiblast of the mid PS host embryos colonised the embryonic mesoderm but not the extraembryonic mesoderm. This departure from the normal cell fate indicates that the allocation of epiblast cells to the mesodermal lineages is dependent on the timing of their recruitment to the primitive streak and the morphogenetic options that are available to the ingressing cells at that instance.
