Abstract:Analysis or the development of microtubular structures in the mirror-image doublet cell lines of a hypotrich ciliate,Paraurostyla weissei, revealed several modifications in standard morphogenesis. Ciliary primordia can be formed without prior disaggregation of the preformed marginal cirri, on the left instead of the right hand side of an old row. Two or more overlapping streak segments may originate from disaggregating old marginal cirri, giving rise to two or three cirral rows. Inverted marginal cirri occasionally develop de novo and can be propagated clonally. Thus the modifications in developmental processes concern the positioning of primordia, the number of forming structures and the polarity of these structures. The microtubular triplets in the basal bodies of normal and inverted cirri do not differ, indicating that the large-scale reversal of the overall pattern has no effect on the assembly of microtubular triplets. The study indicates that the control of cytotactic propagation of compound microtubular structures is either modified or partially suppressed in a morphogenetic field where the positional values along one of the main cellular axes (lateral) have been reversed.
