The time required for foot end formation increases with distance from the foot end. Using lateral grafting it was shown that both the peduncle and basal disc could induce a proximal axis when grafted into the gastric region. The time for foot end determination was shown to be about 4 h at the proximal end of the gastric region and to increase towards the head end. In general the determination of the foot end is similar to that of the head end.
