Embryos of Xenopus laevis at stage 6 were labeled with 14 CO2 for 4 hr and then allowed to develop under nonradioactive conditions until they reached stage 9, 10, 11 or 12. RNA was extracted and electrophoresed on a polyacrylamide-agarose gel. From the pattern of newly synthesized RNAs, the incorporation into 18S and 28S ribosomal RNAs was measured. At the same time, the specific radioactivity of nucleoside triphosphates in the acid-soluble fraction was determined. On the basis of the results obtained, the absolute amounts of the RNAs synthesized were calculated. The results show that the synthesis of the ribosomal RNAs begins, or is at least markedly activated, around stage 10. Moreover, cytological examination has shown that cells with nucleolated nuclei appeared between stages 9 and 10 and increased thereafter.
Thus, from the results of these studies along two different lines, it can safely be concluded that the initiation of 18S and 28S RNA synthesis takes place around stage 10. 相似文献

This study documents evolutionary modifications in mechanisms of gastrulation in Heliocidaris erythrogramma, an echinoid with lecithotrophic larvae. Radially symmetrical cell rearrangements and changes in cell shape drive elongation of the archenteron in the ancestral mode of echinoid gastrulation. Cell marking experiments indicate that in H. erythrogramma, however, prolonged movement of cells over the ventral lip of the blastopore accompanies extension of the archenteron. Evolutionary modifications to archenteron extension in H. erythrogramma thus include utilization of a different type of cellular movement as well as the imposition of dorsoventral asymmetry in cellular movements. The conservation of gastrulation mechanisms among phylogenetically divergent echinoids with planktotrophic development suggests that the plesiomorphic condition has persisted at least 250 million years and perhaps much longer. Yet H. erythrogramma diverged from an ancestor with planktotrophic development only about 10 mya, indicating that morphogenetic mechanisms of early development can undergo substantial evolutionary changes, even after long periods of stasis. 相似文献

OCCURRENCE OF MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES IN THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEA URCHIN EMBRYO AND ITS ROLE IN GASTRULATION 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
KAZUO SUGIYAMA 《Development, growth & differentiation》1972,14(1):63-74
The occurrence of acid mucopolysaccharides in the early development of the sea urchin embryo was studied by histochemical stainings as well as by autoradiographic methods. By histochemical methods acid niucopolysacchdride was demonstrated at the vegetal region in the early stage of gastrulation as a globular structure. Experiments with 35 S-labeled sulfate which was incorporated into acid mucopolysaccharides confirmed the result obtained by histochemical observation. It was revealed that sulfate polysaccharide in the vegetal region moved toward the blastocoel in parallel with the shedding of the primary mesenchyme cells. When the incorporation of sulfate into the acid mucopolysaccharides was inhibited by selenate, the primitive gut development was remarkably repressed. The substance seems to be indispensable for smooth cell movements essential for the gastrulation of sea urchin embryo. 相似文献

The cleavage pattern in the egg of Xenopus laevis has been investigated with the aid of time-lapse cinematography. From the 5th cleavage onward, divisions of the surface blastomeres are not synchronous but metachronous. A few blastomeres in a very restricted region which is situated in most cases in the dorsal side of the animal hemisphere, slightly distant from the median line and near the equatorial junction of the animal and vegetal hemispheres, divide before the other blastomeres, and a wave-like propagation of the divisions travels along the surface from that region toward the animal and vegetal poles. The wave-like propagation ends in the vegetal pole region. In the animal hemisphere, this pattern of cleavage is continued until the 13th cleavage and thereafter the divisions of surface blastomeres become asynchronous. In the vegetal pole region, however, the 14th metachronous division of blastomeres is clearly observed in the film. Gastrulation begins after 14 cleavages. 相似文献

TEMPORAL RELATIONS BETWEEN EXTENSION OF ARCHENTERON ROOF AND REALIZATION OF NEURAL INDUCTION DURING GASTRULATION OF NEWT EMBRYO 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

This investigation was performed in order to analyze the basic relationships between the archenteron roof and the overlying ectoderm in primary induction in the Cynopus (Triturus) pyrrhogaster embryo.
The part of the archenteron roof that is active in inducing capacity extends linearly after invagination at the speed of 0.15 mm per hr at 23°C until stage 13b. The period of contact at each position of the presumptive neuro-ectoderm with the active archenteron roof could be estimated by the formula described in the Discussion.
Pieces of the presumptive neuro-ectoderm were isolated from gastrulae at three developmental stages and cultured separately in Holtfreter solution after being divided caudo-cranially into 4 parts. The result showed that some of them were able to differentiate into neural tissues even in the mid-gastrula stage and that the presumptive neuro-ectoderm acquired the capacity to differentiate into neural tissue along a caudocranial axis from the part adjacent to the blastopore during gastrulation.
It could be estimated that 3 hr of contact with the active archenteron roof is sufficient for the presumptive neuro-ectoderm to differentiate into neural tissue.
The present study also showed that the neuralizing capacity of the whole prospective neuro-ectodermal area has already been determined before the end of stage 13, i.e., within less than 14 hr after first contact of the ectoderm with the active archenteron roof at 23°C. 相似文献

Inflorescence meristems and vegetative tissues, excised from noninduced Bougainvillea ‘San Diego Red’ plants, were cultured in vitro in media containing either 3% fructose, glucose or sucrose as carbon sources. Growth and development of young leaves were equivalent whether sucrose or fructose was used whereas floret initiation on inflorescence meristems was much greater when fructose or glucose was the carbon sources. Brief (1-3 days) exposure of inflorescence meristems to fructose at the beginning of culture and subsequent transfer to sucrose did not increase development over continuous culture in sucrose. Longer exposures (4-7 days) to fructose with subsequent transfer to sucrose did, however, increase the percentage of meristems developing florets, but such treatment did not increase development to the same level as those exposed to fructose for the entire period in vitro. During the first 18 days of culture, growth of meristems in sucrose was linear while that in fructose was exponential. There was no difference in carbohydrate requirements for floret initiation on meristems excised from short-day induced or noninduced plants, suggesting that induction does not enhance the ability of meristems to utilize sucrose. 相似文献

During the differentiation of T and B cells, immune-receptor loci in the genome must be made sterically accessible so that they can undergo rearrangement. Here, we discuss how this is carried out by the stepwise removal of epigenetic repression mechanisms - such as later-replication timing, heterochromatization, histone hypo-acetylation and DNA methylation - in a manner that initially favours one allele in each cell. We propose that this mechanism of allelic exclusion might also be the basis for the generation of gene diversity in other systems. 相似文献

Biodiversity Resources for Restoration Ecology 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Biological resources can be more usefully incorporated into many aspects of restoration ecology. During the planning and design stage, the wide genotypic variation in natural plant populations must be recognized and exploited. This will ensure that genotypes used on a site are best adapted to local conditions and have a greater probability of survivorship than arbitrarily chosen material. Also, certain unusual genotypes can be located using the principles of evolutionary ecology and can be installed in areas with extreme conditions, such as soils contaminated with heavy metals, in areas where rapid colonizing ability (high seed set and/or clonal growth) is particularly advantageous, or where soils are of poor quality. Similarly, where high herbivore pressure is a threat to restoration, genotypes that are well defended, chemically or mechanically, against animal enemies should be selected to initiate the restoration process. The nursery industry can be encouraged to supply an ecologically wider selection of material for restoration, originating from local biological reserves and natural habitats. During the management phase of a restoration, local natural habitats are critical as reservoirs of biological control agents, seed sources for plant species, and members of higher trophic levels and additional plant species needed during succession. Mutualists such as pollinators, seed dispersers, and mycorrhizal fungi are vital to the success of a restoration project, and these must invade from nearby natural habitats or must be deliberately introduced. During the evaluation phase of restoration, local natural areas should be used as templates of community composition and structure from which one measures success. A functioning restoration project will interact biologically with surrounding areas, the exchange of species and genes being particularly important. Analysis of the microbial and invertebrate communities that have invaded the installed plant community may be useful and accurate determinants of ecological function. For these latter stages of the restoration process, the value of preserving local habitat remnants is high and complements their usefulness as a source of ecologically precise material for installation. 相似文献

Drug-discrimination (DD) techniques can be used to study abuse-related effects by establishing the interoceptive effects of a training drug (e.g., cocaine) as a cue for performing a specific operant response (e.g., lever pressing reinforced by food). During training with this protocol, pressing one lever is reinforced when the training drug is injected before the start of the session, and responding on a second lever is reinforced when vehicle is injected before the session. Lever choice during test sessions can then be used as an indication of whether a novel drug has effects similar to the training drug, or whether a potential therapeutic alters the effects of the training drug. Although training can be lengthy (up to several months), the pharmacological specificity of DD procedures make them a perfect complement to other techniques used to study drug-abuse phenomena, such as intravenous self-administration and conditioned place-preference procedures. 相似文献

Turning commercial lab automation into a high-throughput centre requires an underlying process, and implementing checks to ensure that the process is working as it should. At the Collaborative Crystallisation Centre (C3), protein samples from local, national and international groups are set up in crystallisation screening and optimisation experiments with two thousand 96 well plates being set up each year. During its five years of operation, the C3 has implemented a series of enabling protocols - from simple 'reality checks' to determine if a screen has evaporated during storage to more sophisticated systems such as a sample labelling and tracking system. The most important - and perhaps surprising - lesson has been how much effort is required to effectively communicate between the centre and its clients, as well as between the centre's staff members. It is easy to confuse the concept of 'high throughput' in any field with the idea of setting up an experiment quickly. Although automation can be used to set up a single experiment more rapidly than can be done by hand, the distinguishing feature of a high throughput technology is the sustainability of the increased rate. 相似文献

Summary During contests animals typically exchange information about fighting ability. Among feral horses these signals involve olfactory or acoustical elements and each type can effectively terminate contests before physical contact becomes necessary. Dung transplant experiments show that for stallions, irrespective of rank, olfactory signals such as dung sniffing encode information about familiarity suggesting that such signals can be used as signatures. As such they can provide indirect information about fighting ability as long as opponents associate identity with past performance. Play-back experiments, however, show that vocalizations, such as squeals, directly provide information about status regardless of stallion familiarity. Sonographs reveal that squeals of dominants are longer than those of subordinates and that only those of dominants have at their onset high-frequency components. 相似文献

基因表达研究中内参基因的选择与应用 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
管家基因是一类无组织特异性的,在物种的所有组织细胞中都表达的基因,被广泛用作内参基因来检测目标基因在不同的组织器官、一定的发育阶段或胁迫的环境条件下的表达规律变化。这些管家基因并不是在所有生理条件下都能作为理想内参基因稳定表达。在基因表达转录分析中,大多数普遍使用的内参基因已不能满足准确定量的要求。基于统计学分析软件,如geNorm、BestKeeper和NormFinder三种分析软件,可以筛选出稳定性较好的内参基因。本文综述了内参基因的选择条件、方法及应用。 相似文献

Preservation of Purified Peanut Stripe and Turnip Mosaic Potyviruses by Freezing and Freeze-drying 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
During storage at - 20 °C of purified preparations of peanut stripe and turnip mosaic potyviruses, infectivity of intact particles and RNA extracted from preserved preparations decreased. This decrease can be attributed to several factors such as virus aggregation and alterations of the nucleic acids and coat proteins. However, the addition to the preparations of 0.5% peptone or 1% sucrose permitted a high level of infectivity to be retained for extended periods. Freeze-drying led to aggregation of the particles and in a marked decrease of infectivity. Virus aggregatioti and RNA degradation were suppressed by the addition of protectants such as 0.5% lysine. Results suggest that other potyviruses may be well preserved under similar conditions. 相似文献
