the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Scientists reveal new picture in the evolution of flightless birds.
Because of their far-flung geography and colorful examples including the African ostrich, Australian emu, New Zealand kiwi, and long-lost giants such as Madagascar elephant birds and 12-foot-tall New Zealand moa, Baker et al. (2014) have examined a fascinating part in the story of the avian tree of life: Flightless birds, or ratites. Straddling the middle ground and of great debate is the South...
متن کاملInsect Evolution: The Origin of Wings
The debate on the evolution of wings in insects has reached a new level. The study of primitive fossil insect nymphs has revealed that wings developed from a combination of the dorsal part of the thorax and the body wall.
متن کاملDevelopmental basis for vein pattern variations in insect wings.
The venation patterns characteristics of different insect orders and of families belonging to the same order possess enormous variation in vein number, position and differentiation. Although the developmental basis of changes in vein patterns during evolution is entirely unknown, the identification of the genes and developmental processes involved in Drosophila vein pattern formation facilitate...
متن کاملThe development and evolution of crossveins in insect wings.
The formation of crossveins in Drosophila was an important early case study in understanding the role of the environment in the development and evolution of morphological structures. More recent work has shown that signalling processes play a crucial role in the formation of crossveins in Drosophila and that the interaction of a heat shock factor, Hsp90, with components of signal transduction p...
