The specification of dorsal/ventral axis in the egg of Xenopus laevis was investigated as a series of oblique orientation to gravity by tilt and clinostat. The fertile eggs were loaded on the clinostats of several speeds. In the range of low speeds between 0.45-9.0 rph, the location of dorsal lip was dependent on the direction of rotation, and in 40-360 rph, lip was formed at a random position. In addition, some of the tadpoles experienced with clinostat showed the typical syndrome of "dorsal axis reduction"
