Abstract
Classical fate mapping and transplantation studies have yielded a rich embryological understanding of heart development in urodeles. Recent advances in understanding the molecular nature of many early developme ntal events can be applied to urodele heart development. In this revie w we examine urodele heart development from both morphological and mol ecular viewpoints. We focus primarily on cardiac induction, early card iogenesis, and heart regeneration.
