Blastoderm formation in the silkworm egg (Bombyx mori L). 1980

S Takesue, and H Keino, and K Onitake

Embryogenesis in the egg of the silkworm. Bombyx mori, up to 24 h after oviposition was studied by light microscopy with special reference to nuclear migration and blastoderm formation. In Bombyx eggs blastoderm cells seem to form in a mechanism different from that usually seen in many other insect species; that is, in Bombyx eggs no typical cleavage furrows were seen. Cleavage nuclei which had migrated, accompanied by the associated cytoplasm, to the egg surface pushed up the plasma membrane and protruded beyond the initial level of the periplasm. The periplasm fused with their associated cytoplasm was partitioned among the pulled around the nuclei. Then each nucleus was separated by a laterally-invading limiting membrane from the yolk-granules-occupied region to yield a blastoderm cell.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001756 Blastoderm A layer of cells lining the fluid-filled cavity (blastocele) of a BLASTULA, usually developed from a fertilized insect, reptilian, or avian egg. Blastoderms
D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D003593 Cytoplasm The part of a cell that contains the CYTOSOL and small structures excluding the CELL NUCLEUS; MITOCHONDRIA; and large VACUOLES. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990) Protoplasm,Cytoplasms,Protoplasms
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012831 Bombyx A genus of silkworm MOTHS in the family Bombycidae of the order LEPIDOPTERA. The family contains a single species, Bombyx mori from the Greek for silkworm + mulberry tree (on which it feeds). A native of Asia, it is sometimes reared in this country. It has long been raised for its SILK and after centuries of domestication it probably does not exist in nature. It is used extensively in experimental GENETICS.
