Figure 2.Fate maps of urodele blastula from (a) lateral and (b) dorsal aspects, deduced from vital staining. (After J. M. W. Slack, From Egg to Embryo: Determinative Events in Early Development, Cambridge University Press, 1983)

Figure 3.Fate map of the Arabidopsis embryo. (a) Heart stage embryo. (b) Mature embryo. (c) Seedling. The embryo is delineated into sectors from an early heart stage to give rise to specific regions or tissue types. The apical region (large shaded areas in figure) gives rise to the shoot meristem and cotyledons. The middle region gives rise to the hypocotyl and root, while the basal region (smaller shaded regions) forms the root meristem and initials.
