Morphology and Biochemistry of Diploid and Androgenetic Haploid (Merogonic) Hybrids

  • Chapter
The Sea Urchin Embryo

Abstract

Sea urchin hybrids have often been used to study nucleo-cytoplasmic interaction during embryonic development. In diploid hybrids the sperm nucleus of one species is introduced into the egg of another species, while in haploid merogonic hybrids anucleate egg fragments are crossfertilized. In the former the egg contains 2 pronuclei of different species, and in the latter a male pronucleus is enclosed by foreign cytoplasm without a second haploid nucleus. Both combinations often result in disharmonic interaction between nucleus and cytoplasm, leading sooner or later to developmental arrest and death of the embryo. It is evident that analysis of the cytologic behavior and morphogenetic patterns of these hybrids provide us with valuable information about the basic mechanism of embryonic development.

Prof. F. Baltzer died on March 18, 1974, shortly after his 90th birthday.
