Using a plate‐needle electrode combination and specific route of plasmid delivery, labeling could be targeted to discrete regions of the epiblast or the endoderm of the late gastrula. Among the various types of fluorescent and chromogenic reporter constructs tested, those driven by CMV promoter are efficient and strong expression can be detected as soon as 2–3 h after electroporation. The efficacy of marking cell lineages by CRE‐mediated activation of reporters proved to be inefficient for tracking cell lineages due to an obligatory 8–9‐h lag from the electroporation of constructs to the expression of reporter. This significant time lag also raises concern of the temporal precision at which tissue‐ or stage‐specific knock‐out or activation of genetic activity may be achieved by the <jats:italic>Cre‐loxP</jats:italic> mechanism. genesis 35:57–62, 2003. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.</jats:p>
