Osservazioni ultrastrutturali sul determinante germinale dei Dafnidi
Origin and fine structure of the germ-cell determinant in summer and winter eggs of Daphnia pulex and D. magna were studied. The germ-cell determinant appears in the perinuclear cytoplasmic region of the oocyte still undifferentiated from its nurse cells, and then it will migrate to the cortical ooplasm. The completely developed germ-cell determinant consists of a coarse network of fine granular and fibrillar material, which is extruded from the nucleus through the pores of the nuclear envelope....
