Term Name: DEL
Synonyms: deep cell layer, DEL cells
Definition: A multilayer of deep cells of fairly uniform thickness that forms during early epiboly (at dome stage; upon conversion of the blastodisc to the blastoderm); during gastrulation the DEL (deep cell layer) gives rise to the epiblast and hypoblast.
Appears at: Blastula:30%-epiboly (4.66h-5.25h)
Evident until: Gastrula:Bud (10.0h-10.33h)
