Abstrakt: Using a novel grafting procedure for histoblasts, we have transplanted the fifth dorsal or ventral histoblast nests to heterotopic positions in the abdomen of the prepupa of the housefly to find out how rigid are these imaginai cells in their commitment to form their respective segmental pattern. Our results clearly show that these histoblasts survive in their new positions and form patterns according to their original determined state.
