  1. An Understanding of Everything Developmental Biology

  2. Stages & Events of Chordate Embryogenesis Developmental Process Embryonic Stage Zygote Morula Blastula Gastrula Neurulation Neurula Pharyngula Fetus

  3. Gametogenesis • Process of producing gametes • Spermatogenesis • Oogenesis • Meiotic cell division • Packaging of material into oocytes • Removal of cytoplasm from sperm

  4. Accumulation of Vitellogenin during Oogenesis in Xenopus

  5. Localization of Developmental Regulatory Factors • Dsh, Xcat-2, Xlsirt, Vg-1 mRNAs localized to vegetal pole of vertebrate eggs Xlsirt mRNA

  6. Bicoid Gradient in Drosophila Egg & Embryo

  7. Fertilization - Sperm and Egg Fusion

  8. Fertilization Induces a Rearrangement of Cytoplasmic, Localized Factors • Initial localization of material in eggs is radially symmetrical • Fertilization creates a point of asymmetry and causes rotational reorganization of cytoskeleton to generate bilateral symmetry Gray crescent

  9. Reorganization ofCytoplasmic Maternal Factors Set Up Signaling Cascades

  29. Concepts in Developmental Biology • Polarity • Established by localization of maternal gene products • Established by inductive signaling events • Morphogenesis • Cellular movements and embryonic structure formation • Regulated by cell-signaling & cell adhesion mechanisms • Differentiation • Specialization of cells to a particular fate • Growth • Increase in cell number • Increase in cell size

  30. Cell Specification • Differentiation • The process and the processes associated with a cell becoming specialized • Occurs in multiple steps

  31. Cell Specification • Autonomous • All differentiation information is contained within the cell • Conditional • Differentiation information supplied through interactions with other cells

  32. Cell Specification - Steps • Commitment • Specification • Determination • Terminal differentiation

  33. Cell Specification - Commitment • Specification • A cell is said to be specified when: • Cells differentiate autonomously when removed from normal environment (embryo) and placed in a neutral environment (culture medium) • Placing cells into a non-neutral environment (a different place in the embryo) causes the cells to follow the fate of other cells the new location rather than their original fate

  34. Cell Specification - Committment • Determination • A cell is said to be determined when: • Cells differentiate autonomously even when placed in a non-neutral environment • When moved to a different location within the embryo, the transplanted cells differentiate according to their original fate

  35. Cell Specification - Terminal Differentiation • When a cell can no longer change or be changed into anything other than the cell type it is • Can be associated with permanent changes in DNA • DNA Methylation is a prominent factor • B-cells (plasma cells) rearrange the immunoglobulin (Ig) genes so that they can now only form a single type of Ig

  36. Spemann’s Specification Experiments Inductive signals trigger conditional specification, determination and differentiation Presumptive neural plate ectoderm in the early gastrula was uncommitted. Later gastrula neuroectoderm was committed to a neural fate.

  37. Dorsal Lip Transplantation

  38. Reversal of Terminal Differentiation • Embryonic Stem cells • Totipotent or pluripotent cells • Dedifferentiated stem cells • Pluripotent • Derived from previously differentiated cells • Cloning proves nuclear equivalence

  39. Figure 19.3 Cloning a Plant (Part 1)

  40. Cloning by Nuclear Transplantation • Nuclear transplant experiments have shown that somatic cells contain the entire genome. • Nucleus of an unfertilized egg is replaced with the nucleus of a somatic cell • These experiments led to two important conclusions: • No information is lost in the early stages of embryonic development (a principle known as genomic equivalence). • The cytoplasmic environment around a nucleus can modify its fate.
