First, the cell movements associated with gastrulation are separated from formation of the embryonic axis. In addition, embryonic diapause can occur. Diapause II and III are often observed when embryos are incubated at 25 o C...

Embryonic diapause or temporary cessation of embryonic development is a common phenomenon in the plant and animal species. embryogenesis blastocyst stage reproductive strategy characterized by delayed implantation uterus. It defined over 130 species mammals. occurs obligate facultative cases where embryo from to later stages not appropriate (eg, during environmental conditions lactation). The b...

Embryonic diapause is the reversible arrest of embryo development prior to implantation under a regime of uterine control that is not well understood. Our objective was to explore uterine modifications associated with the emergence of embryonic diapause in the mink, a species in which embryonic diapause characterizes every gestation. We investigated the uterine transcriptome at reactivation usi...

At least 100 mammalian species exhibit embryonic diapause, where fertilized embryos arrest development in utero until suitable seasonal or nutritional environments are encountered. Delaying maternal investments in producing offspring allows these animals to utilize limited resources to survive while searching for better conditions and ensures that progeny are not produced when they are unlikely...

In the bivoltine strain of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, embryonic diapause is induced transgenerationally as a maternal effect. Progeny diapause is determined by the environmental temperature during embryonic development of the mother; however, its molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we show that the Bombyx TRPA1 ortholog (BmTrpA1) acts as a thermosensitive transient receptor potentia...

HCl treatment has been, for about 80 years, the primary method for the prevention of entry into embryonic diapauses of Bombyx mori. This is because no method is as effective as the HCl treatment. In this study, we discovered that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) prevented entry into the diapause of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The effect of diapause prevention was 78% as a result of treatment with 100% ...

BACKGROUND As a response to harsh environments, the crustacean artemia produces diapause gastrula embryos (cysts), in which cell division and embryonic development are totally arrested. This dormant state can last for very long periods but be terminated by specific environmental stimuli. Thus, artemia is an ideal model organism in which to study cell cycle arrest and embryonic development. PR...

diapause. Pafr protein was present in a membrane bound form in the glandular epithelium of the endometrium across all stages, analysis studies are in progress to determine any temporal changes in levels of expression. In vitro, paf production from the endometrium increases after diapause (Kojima et al., 1993). p53 expression assessed by RT-PCR, was detected in the endometrium across all stages ...
