In this study we present new data concerning the tangential migration from the medial and lateral ganglionic eminences (MGE and LGE) to the cerebral cortex during development. We have used Calbindin as a useful marker to follow the itinerary of tangential migratory cells during early developmental stages in wild-type and Pax-6 homozygous mutant mice. In the wild-type mice, at early developmental stages, migrating cells advance through the intermediate zone (IZ) and preplate (PP). At more advanced stages, migrating cells were present in the subplate (SP) and cortical plate (CP) to reach the entire developing cerebral cortex. We found that, in the homozygous mutant mice (Pax-6 Sey-Neu/Pax-6 Sey-Neu), this tangential migration is severely affected at early developmental stages: migrating cells were absent in the IZ, which were only found some days later, suggesting that in the mutant mice, there is a temporal delay in tangential migration. We have also defined some possible mechanisms to explain certain migratory routes from the basal telencephalon to the cerebral cortex. We describe the existence of two factors, which we consider to be essential for the normal migration; the first one is the cell adhesion molecule PSA-NCAM, whose role in other migratory systems is well known. The second factor is Robo-2, whose expression delimits a channel for the passage of migratory cells from the basal telencephalon to the cerebral cortex. 相似文献

Background and Aims
The Borasseae form a highly supported monophyletic clade in the Arecaceae–Coryphoideae. The fruits of Coryphoideae are small, drupaceous with specialized anatomical structure of the pericarp and berries. The large fruits of borassoid palms contain massive pyrenes, which develop from the middle zone of the mesocarp. The pericarp structure and mode of its development in Borasseae are similar to those of Eugeissona and Nypa. A developmental carpological study of borassoid palms will allow us to describe the process of pericarp development and reveal the diagnostic fruit features of borassoid palms, determine the morphogenetic fruit type in Borasseae genera, and describe similarities in fruit structure and pericarp development with other groups of palms.Methods
The pericarp anatomy was studied during development with light microscopy based on the anatomical sections of fruits of all eight Borasseae genera.Key Results
The following general features of pericarp structure in Borasseae were revealed: (1) differentiation of the pericarp starts at early developmental stages; (2) the exocarp is represented by a specialized epidermis; (3) the mesocarp is extremely multilayered and is differentiated into several topographical zones – a peripheral parenchymatous zone(s) with scattered sclerenchymatous elements and vascular bundles, a middle zone (the stony pyrene comprising networks of elongated sclereids and vascular bundles) and an inner parenchymatous zone(s); (4) differentiation and growth of the pyrene tissue starts at early developmental stages and ends long before maturation of the seed; (5) the inner parenchymatous zone(s) of the mesocarp is dramatically compressed by the mature seed; (6) the endocarp (unspecialized epidermis) is not involved in pyrene formation; and (7) the spermoderm is multilayered in Hyphaeninae and obliterated in Lataniinae.Conclusions
The fruits of Borasseae are pyrenaria of Latania-type. This type of pericarp differentiation is also found only in Eugeissona and Nypa. The fruits of other Coryphoideae dramatically differ from Borasseae by the pericarp anatomical structure and the mode of its development. 相似文献4.

The distributions and relative frequencies of insulin-, glucagon- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were studied in dorsal, ventral, third and splenic lobes of developing chicken pancreas during embryonic periods (10 days of incubation to hatching) by immunohistochemical methods. The regions of pancreas were subdivided into three regions: exocrine, light and dark islet. Round, oval and spherical shaped immunoreactive cells were detected in all four lobes. According to developmental stages, the types of lobes and the regions of pancreas showed various distributions and relative frequencies. In the splenic lobes, insulin, glucagon and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were detected in exocrine, dark islet and light islet from time differentiation of splenic lobes, 13 days of incubation. The insulin- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells of the third lobes were detected in exocrine and light islets from 10 days of incubation, and in dark islets from 15 and 11 days of incubation respectively. Glucagon-immunoreactive cells were detected in exocrine, dark and light islets from 16, 11 and 19 days of incubation respectively. These immunoreactive cells of the ventral lobes were detected in exocrine and light islets. However, dark islets were not found in this lobe. Insulin-immunoreactive cells were demonstrated from 10 days of incubation in these two regions. Glucagon-immunoreactive cells were detected from 17 days of incubation in exocrine and 16 days of incubation in the light islets. Somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were demonstrated from 11 days of incubation in exocrine and 14 days of incubation in the light islets. In the dorsal lobes, insulin-immunoreactive cells were demonstrated in exocrine, dark and light islets from 12, 14, and 13 days of incubation, respectively. Glucagon- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were detected in dark and light islets from 13 and 14 days of incubation, respectively. Glucagon- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were demonstrated from 10 and 11 days of incubation in exocrine respectively. Generally, insulin-immunoreactive cells were increased in light islets but decreased in light islets with developmental stages. However, glucagon-immunoreactive cells were decreased in light islets but increased in dark islets. In addition, somatostatin-immunoreactive cells showed the same frequencies in light and dark islets with developmental stages except exocrine which increased with developmental stages. 相似文献

Somatic embryogenesis is an important biotechnological technique for large-scale propagation of elite genotypes. Identifying stage-specific compounds associated with somatic embryo development can help elucidate the ontogenesis of Carica papaya L. somatic embryos and improve tissue culture protocols. To identify the stage-specific proteins that are present during the differentiation of C. papaya somatic embryos, proteomic analyses of embryos at the globular, heart, torpedo and cotyledonary developmental stages were performed. Mass spectrometry data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange with the dataset identifier PXD021107. Comparative proteomic analyses revealed a total of 801 proteins, with 392 classified as differentially accumulated proteins in at least one of the developmental stages. The globular-staged presented a higher number of unique proteins (16), and 7 were isoforms of 60S ribosomal proteins, suggesting high translational activity at the beginning of somatic embryogenesis. Proteins related to mitochondrial metabolism accumulated to a high degree at the early developmental stages and then decreased with increasing development, and they contributed to cell homeostasis in early somatic embryos. A progressive increase in the accumulation of vicilin, late embryogenesis abundant proteins and chloroplastic proteins that lead to somatic embryo maturation was also observed. The differential accumulation of acetylornithine deacetylase and S-adenosylmethionine synthase 2 proteins was correlated with increases in putrescine and spermidine contents, which suggests that both polyamines should be tested to determine whether they increase the conversion rates of globular- to cotyledonary-staged somatic embryos. Taken together, the results showed that somatic embryo development in C. papaya is regulated by the differential accumulation of proteins, with ribosomal and mitochondrial proteins more abundant during the early somatic embryo stages and seed maturation proteins more abundant during the late stages. 相似文献

The experimental removal of the polar lobe, an anucleate cytoplasmic protrusion formed in preparation for the first cleavage, from the egg of Ilyanassa obsoleta results in grossly abnormal embryonic development. In experiments reported here normal and delobed embryos, as well as isolated polar lobes, were incubated with [35S]methionine for 4 hr beginning at the completion of the first cleavage or 21 hr later during epiboly. Proteins were extracted and examined by fluorography after resolution by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In normal embryos the synthesis of several proteins begins or ends between the two stages investigated. In isolated polar lobes a subset of these developmental changes in protein synthesis occurs, indicating that the regulation of these events is independent of concomitant nuclear activity and probably involves selective regulation of the translation of mRNA stored in the eggs. The patterns of protein synthesis in normal embryos and delobed embryos are qualitatively extremely similar, though quantitative differences are also observed. No proteins can be detected which are synthesized exclusively in polar lobes. 相似文献

The liver is the first organ infected by Plasmodium sporozoites during malaria infection. In the infected hepatocytes, sporozoites undergo a complex developmental program to eventually generate hepatic merozoites that are released into the bloodstream in membrane-bound vesicles termed merosomes. Parasites blocked at an early developmental stage inside hepatocytes elicit a protective host immune response, making them attractive targets in the effort to develop a pre-erythrocytic stage vaccine. Here, we generated parasites blocked at a late developmental stage inside hepatocytes by conditionally disrupting the Plasmodium berghei cGMP-dependent protein kinase in sporozoites. Mutant sporozoites are able to invade hepatocytes and undergo intracellular development. However, they remain blocked as late liver stages that do not release merosomes into the medium. These late arrested liver stages induce protection in immunized animals. This suggests that, similar to the well studied early liver stages, late stage liver stages too can confer protection from sporozoite challenge. 相似文献

Plant roots constantly secrete compounds into the soil to interact with neighboring organisms presumably to gain certain functional advantages at different stages of development. Accordingly, it has been hypothesized that the phytochemical composition present in the root exudates changes over the course of the lifespan of a plant. Here, root exudates of in vitro grown Arabidopsis plants were collected at different developmental stages and analyzed using GC-MS. Principle component analysis revealed that the composition of root exudates varied at each developmental stage. Cumulative secretion levels of sugars and sugar alcohols were higher in early time points and decreased through development. In contrast, the cumulative secretion levels of amino acids and phenolics increased over time. The expression in roots of genes involved in biosynthesis and transportation of compounds represented in the root exudates were consistent with patterns of root exudation. Correlation analyses were performed of the in vitro root exudation patterns with the functional capacity of the rhizosphere microbiome to metabolize these compounds at different developmental stages of Arabidopsis grown in natural soils. Pyrosequencing of rhizosphere mRNA revealed strong correlations (p<0.05) between microbial functional genes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and secondary metabolites with the corresponding compounds released by the roots at particular stages of plant development. In summary, our results suggest that the root exudation process of phytochemicals follows a developmental pattern that is genetically programmed. 相似文献

Yung‐Chieh Liu Wen‐Sung Chung Chun‐Chieh Yu Su‐Ting Hsu Fung‐Lan Chan Tsung‐Han Liu Chia‐Hao Su Yeukuang Hwu N. Justin Marshall Chuan‐Chin Chiao 《Journal of morphology》2018,279(1):75-85
The optic lobe is the largest brain area within the central nervous system of cephalopods and it plays important roles in the processing of visual information, the regulation of body patterning, and locomotive behavior. The oval squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana has relatively large optic lobes that are responsible for visual communication via dynamic body patterning. It has been observed that the visual behaviors of oval squids change as the animals mature, yet little is known about how the structure of the optic lobes changes during development. The aim of the present study was to characterize the ontogenetic changes in neural organization of the optic lobes of S. lessoniana from late embryonic stage to adulthood. Magnetic resonance imaging and micro‐CT scans were acquired to reconstruct the 3D‐structure of the optic lobes and examine the external morphology at different developmental stages. In addition, optic lobe slices with nuclear staining were used to reveal changes in the internal morphology throughout development. As oval squids mature, the proportion of the brain making up the optic lobes increases continuously, and the optic lobes appear to have a prominent dent on the ventrolateral side. Inside the optic lobe, the cortex and the medulla expand steadily from the late embryonic stage to adulthood, but the cell islands in the tangential zone of the optic lobe decrease continuously in parallel. Interestingly, the size of the nuclei of cells within the medulla of the optic lobe increases throughout development. These findings suggest that the optic lobe undergoes continuous external morphological change and internal neural reorganization throughout the oval squid's development. These morphological changes in the optic lobe are likely to be responsible for changes in the visuomotor behavior of oval squids from hatching to adulthood. 相似文献

Drosophila larval hematopoiesis occurs in a specialized multi-lobed organ called the lymph gland. Extensive characterization of the organ has provided mechanistic insights into events related to developmental hematopoiesis. Spanning from the thoracic to the abdominal segment of the larvae, this organ comprises a pair of primary, secondary, and tertiary lobes. Much of our understanding arises from the studies on the primary lobe, while the secondary and tertiary lobes have remained mostly unexplored. Previous studies have inferred that these lobes are composed of progenitors that differentiate during pupation; however, the mechanistic basis of this extended progenitor state remains unclear. This study shows that posterior lobe progenitors are maintained by a local signaling center defined by Ubx and Collier in the tertiary lobe. This Ubx zone in the tertiary lobe shares several markers with the niche of the primary lobe. Ubx domain regulates the homeostasis of the posterior lobe progenitors in normal development and an immune-challenged scenario. Our study establishes the lymph gland as a model to tease out how the progenitors interface with the dual niches within an organ during development and disorders. 相似文献

Laboratory experiments utilizing ecologically relevant irradiances of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) known to occur in shallow Gulf of Maine waters were conducted on the planktonic embryos and larvae of two common benthic echinoids; the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and the sand dollar Echinarachnius parma. Significant decreases in survivorship were observed in freshly fertilized embryos of both species with greater mortality in E. parma that was associated with the absence of UVR-absorbing compounds, the mycosporine-like amino acids. Experiments on blastula, gastrula, and prism larval stages of S. droebachiensis also showed significant decreases in survivorship, delays in development, and abnormal embryos and larvae associated with exposure to UVR. Additionally, all developmental stages of S. droebachiensis experimentally exposed to UVR resulted in significant increases in DNA damage, measured as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer photoproducts. The observed delays in early cleavage and subsequent developmental stages for S. droebachiensis are correlated with DNA damage. It is postulated that cell cycle arrest at critical checkpoints after DNA damage, mediated by a suite of cell cycle genes, is a component of the observed UVR induced developmental delays. 相似文献

In marine ecosystems, the most significant migration observed in terms of biomass distribution is the one connected with the vertical movements in the water column. In the present study, the vertical profiles of the mesopelagic shrimps Gennadas elegans, Eusergestes arcticus, Sergia robusta, and the epipelagic Parasergestes vigilax in the Balearic Sea (western Mediterranean), during the stratified (summer) and non-stratified (autumn) hydrographic conditions, were investigated through their ontogeny, from the larval to adult stages. The mesopelagic adults were observed to move down to the deeper layers during the night more than during the daylight hours. Most larvae aggregated within the limits of the upper water column. The P. vigilax larvae were collected only during the stratified period. The first two larval stages vertical distribution indicates that the mesopelagic crustacean spawning could occur at greater depths. During the non-stratified period, the larvae of the mesopelagic species tended to remain at about 500 m depth at night, rising towards the upper layers at sunrise. Vertical patterns are discussed, as strategies associated with predator–prey trade-offs. To our knowledge, the present study is the first such attempt to jointly analyze the vertical migrations of the developmental stages of the pelagic shrimps in the Mediterranean Sea. 相似文献

Gross structural changes and neuropil formation in the brain during development were described in Idiosepius paradoxus, a sepioid that we chose as a model cephalopod. The brain originates in 4 pairs of ectodermal placodes, which occur separately in the embryonic surface undergoing epiboly. In the final period of epiboly, neuroblasts internalize from the placodes and gather into 4 pairs of ganglionic masses. The ganglionic masses assemble into a ring-like cluster encircling the inner yolk and the foregut anlage, gradually integrated into the 4 domains of a massive brain, a subesophageal mass (SBM), a supraesophageal mass (SPM), and a pair of optic lobes. In the early brain, neuropil forms a framework composed of a longitudinal ladder lying in the SBM, and a transverse arch standing on the lateral sides of the SBM and crossing the SPM. Differentiation of brain lobes proceeds from ventral to dorsal along this framework; first the magnocellular lobes and the posterior pedal lobe appear first in the SBM, the other lobes in the SBM and the basal lobes follow in the proximal region of the SPM, and the accessory lobes develop last in the most dorsal zone of the SPM. In the hatchlings, the brain lobes show almost the same arrangement as in the adults, but the accessory lobes, particularly the vertical lobe, are much smaller than those in the adults. Comparison of the present results with those in the teuthoid and the octopod indicates that developmental sequences of the brain are highly conserved in the coleoid cephalopods. 相似文献

Drywood termites of the family Kalotermitidae present a very flexible developmental pattern, in which pseudergates are totipotent and may become reproductives. In this study, three colonies of Cryptotermes brevis headed by neotenic reproductives were used: (i) colony A, with a primary king and a neotenic queen; (ii) colony B, with a primary queen and a neotenic king; and (iii) colony C, with neotenic king and queen. The primary king from colony A and the neotenic king from colony B presented well‐developed reproductive systems, with conspicuous testicular lobes and cysts containing spermatozoa also observed in the seminal vesicles. The neotenic queen of colony A and the primary queen of colony B had ovaries with several oocytes in early developmental stages with some of them already vitellogenic and terminal, which suggests egg‐laying activity. Both of these queens presented the spermathecae lumen filled with spermatozoa. The queen of colony C had vitellogenic oocytes; however, the oocytes were not terminal and the lumen of spermathecae was devoid of spermatozoa and secretions. The seminal vesicles of colony C neotenic king have no spermatozoa. This king displayed a previtellogenic oocyte among its testicular lobes, which suggested that this individual was an intersex. 相似文献

The Thermosbaenacea, a small taxon of crustaceans inhabiting subterranean waters, are unique among malacostracans as they brood their offspring dorsally under the carapace. This habit is of evolutionary interest but the last detailed report on thermosbaenacean development is more than 40 years old. Here we provide new observations on an ovigerous female of Tulumella unidens with advanced developmental stages in its brood chamber collected from an anchialine cave at the Yucatan Peninsula, which is only the third report on developmental stages of Thermosbaenacea and the first for the genus Tulumella. Significant in a wider crustacean context, we report and discuss hitherto unexplored lobate structures inside the brood chamber of the female originating at the first (maxilliped) and second thoracic segments, which are most likely modified epipods, perhaps serving as gills. At the posterior margin of carapace of the female are rows of large spines preventing the developing stages from falling out. The external morphology of the advanced developmental stages is described in much detail, providing information on e.g., carapace formation and early limb morphology. Among the hitherto unknown structures in the advanced developmental stages provided by this study are the presence of an embryonic dorsal organ and rudimentary ‘naupliar processes’ of the second antennae. Since most hypotheses on crustacean (and malacostracan and peracaridan) relationship rest on external limb morphology, we use early limb bud morphology of Tulumella to better establish thermosbaenacean limb homologies to those of other crustaceans, which is a necessary basis for future morphology based phylogenetic considerations. 相似文献

The reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) causes significant cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) losses in the southeastern United States. The research objective was to describe the effects of two resistant G. barbadense lines (cultivar TX 110 and accession GB 713) on development and fecundity of reniform nematode. Nematode development and fecundity were evaluated on the resistant lines and susceptible G. hirsutum cultivar Deltapine 16 in three repeated growth chamber experiments. Nematode development on roots early and late in the infection cycle was measured at set intervals from 1 to 25 d after inoculation (DAI) and genotypes were compared based on the number of nematodes in four developmental stages (vermiform, swelling, reniform, and gravid). At 15, 20, and 25 DAI, egg production by individual females parasitizing each genotype was measured. Unique reniform nematode developmental patterns were noted on each of the cotton genotypes. During the early stages of infection, infection and development occurred 1 d faster on susceptible cotton than on the resistant genotypes. Later, progression to the reniform and gravid stages of development occurred first on the susceptible genotype, followed by G. barbadense cultivar TX 110, and finally G. barbadense accession GB 713. Egg production by individual nematodes infecting the three genotypes was similar. This study corroborates delayed development previously reported on G. barbadense cultivar TX 110 and is the first report of delayed infection and development associated with G. barbadense accession GB 713. The different developmental patterns in the resistant genotypes suggest that unique or additional loci may confer resistance in these two lines. 相似文献
