Axial patterning in hydra.
Morphogen gradients play an important role in pattern formation during early stages of embryonic development in many bilaterians. In an adult hydra, axial patterning processes are constantly active because of the tissue dynamics in the adult. These processes include an organizer region in the head, which continuously produces and transmits two signals that are distributed in gradients down the ...
متن کاملExperimental studies on axial polarity in hydra.
There is evidence which suggests that the polarity of regeneration in hydra is determined by axial gradients of some sort. The mechanisms which may be involved in the establishment and maintenance of the gradients have been investigated by studying the reversal of polarity in graft combinations. Complete polarity reversal can be effected by a grafted hypostome or by a grafted hypostome and pedu...
متن کاملDevelopmental evolution: Axial patterning in insects
The Drosophila bicoid gene is well known for encoding a protein that forms a morphogenetic gradient with a key role in anterior patterning of the fruitfly embryo. Recent results suggest the evolution of bicoid might have involved dramatic changes in function - essentially the invention of a new regulatory protein.

متن کاملHox patterning of the vertebrate axial skeleton.
The axial skeleton in all vertebrates is composed of similar components that extend from anterior to posterior along the body axis: the occipital skull bones and cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal vertebrae. Despite significant changes in the number and size of these elements during evolution, the basic character of these anatomical elements, as well as the order in which they appea...
