Solution

1) Cordin

2) Goosecoid

3) VegT

4) Vg1

These are the avian organizer molecules.

In summary, there is evidence for an active Wnt/Beta catenin pathway within the vegetal region of the chick embryo, which is radially distributed around the epiblast. In contrast, the Tbx6L/cVg1/CMIX system is restricted to the posterior vegetal region of the embryo. The activities of the two pathways overlap spatially in the posterior marginal zone(PMZ), which thus becomes a focal structure of early avian development.
