Axis Formation: Microtubules Push in the Right Direction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Live imaging reveals that the Drosophila oocyte nucleus is pushed by growing microtubules to break the radial symmetry of the oocyte and establish dorsoventral polarity.

S10-05 Linking organ formation to left–right patterning in the embryonic zebrafish
Handedness in plant growth may be most familiar to us as tendrils of twinning plants, which generally form consistent rightor left-handed helices as they climb. Also, the petals of several species are arranged like fan blades that twist in the same direction. To unravel molecular components and cellular determinants of handedness and anisotropic growth, we screened seedlings of Arabidopsis thal...
متن کاملOrganization of microtubules and endoplasmic reticulum during mitosis and cytokinesis in wheat meristems.
The fine-structural changes accompanying mitosis in meristematic cells of the roots and coleoptile tissue of wheat have been studied. A band of microtubules encircling the nucleus appeared in the cytoplasm before the cells entered prophase. These microtubules were oriented at right angles to the direction of the mitotic spindle and were located at the position on the mother cell wall where the ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Pseudo-Turbulence Flow Induced by Bubble Periodic Formation in Non-Newtonian Fluids
Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) has been employed to determine pseudo-turbulence characteristics of the flow field around bubble train forming in non-Newtonian caboxymethylcellulose (CMC) aqueous solution at low gas flow rate condition. The Reynolds stress and turbulent intensity of the liquid were investigated by means of Reynolds time-averaged method. The experimental results show that ax...
متن کاملMove it or lose it: axis specification in Xenopus.
A long-standing question in developmental biology is how amphibians establish a dorsoventral axis. The prevailing view has been that cortical rotation is used to move a dorsalizing activity from the bottom of the egg towards the future dorsal side. We review recent evidence that kinesin-dependent movement of particles containing components of the Wnt intracellular pathway contributes to the for...
متن کاملDetermination of the in-situ stresses direction in the Sarvak formation in one of the West Iranian oil fields
The image logs interpretation from two wells in a fold hosting a west Iranian oil field located in the Dezful Embayment, SW Iran reveal the occurrence of two major systems of natural fractures. In the central part of the fold, the fold-related fractures include two sets of fractures trending N53°E and N34°E. In the eastern and also curved part of the fold, the strike of open fractures varies fr...
