Some statements with respect to the regeneration in hydra.

A. The major head inducer of the hypostome organizer is a set of Wnt proteins acting through the canonical B-catenin pathway.

B. The major head inducer of the hypostome organizer is a set of Wnt proteins acting through the noncanonical B-catenin pathway.

C. These Wnt proteins are seen in the apical end of the early bud, defining the hypostome region as the bud elongates
