Various aspects of oocyte development and many molecular actors in this process are shared among mammals, but phylogeny and experimental data reveal species specificities. In this chapter, we will present these common and distinctive features with a focus on three points: the shaping of the oocyte transcriptome from evolutionarily conserved and rapidly evolving genes, the control of folliculogenesis and ovulation rate by oocyte-secreted Growth and Differentiation Factor 9 and Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15, and the importance of lipid metabolism. Keywords: oocyte; mammals; evolution; gene expression; posttranscriptional control; Gdf9; Bmp15; lipids 1. Introduction Sexual reproduction requires the fertilization of a female gamete after it has undergone optimal development. In animals, oogenesis has been studied in organisms as diverse as insects, worms, amphibians and mammals. In the latter, the mouse has long been the model of choice to delineate the complex mechanisms that regulate oogenesis and to identify the major genes and molecular actors involved throughout the process.

    DATCP Docket No. 13-R-05 Rules Clearinghouse No. 14-037 ORDER OF THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ADOPTING RULES 1 The Wisconsin department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection hereby adopts the following rule 2 to amend ATCP 75 (appendix) (3-202.13); to repeal and recreate ATCP 88; and to create ATCP 70.02 3 (16) (h) and (i), 70.04 (17), 70.06 (11), 70.09 (8), 70.10(6), and ATCP 75 (appendix) (3-201.11) (H); 4 relating to egg grading, handling and labeling, and affecting small business. _____________________________________________________________________________ Analysis Prepared by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection This rule modifies: ch. ATCP 88, Wis. Adm. Code, related to egg grading, handling and labeling; ch. ATCP 70, Wis. Adm. Code, related to food processing plants; and, ch. ATCP 75, Wis. Adm. Code, related to retail food establishments. The rule comprehensively revises ATCP 88 to clarify the regulatory requirements applicable to egg producers and egg handlers. The rule makes minor revisions to chs. ATCP 70 and 75, moving primary egg regulation to ATCP 88 and further defining acceptable sources of eggs to be sold in retail food establishments. By placing requirements for licensing, facilities, equipment and utensils, egg handling operations, packing and labeling, recordkeeping and recall planning in ATCP 88, the rule limits the need for small egg-business operators to consult multiple chapters of rules. The rule implements 2013 Wisconsin Act 245 by eliminating the requirement for small-scale egg producers to hold a food processing plant license when selling eggs to consumers at a farmers’ market, on an egg sales route, or at the egg producer’s farm.

  • Avian Embryo
    Avian Embryo The avian embryo is amazing and exciting. In only three weeks, a small clump of cells with no characteristic features of any single animal species changes into an active, newly hatched chick. A study of this transformation is educational and interesting, and gives us insight into how humans are formed. This publication will help you study the formation of the egg and the avian embryo. It includes plans for two small incubators so you can build one. You can buy small commercially-built incubators at stores selling farm and educational supplies. Incubation procedures show you the effects of heat, moisture, and ventilation upon the development of the chick embryo. You also learn to hatch other fowl such as turkeys, ducks, quail, and pheasants. The publication describes how to observe and exhibit an avian embryo while it is alive and still functioning, or as a preserved specimen. Sections of this publication include: • Formation and Parts of the Egg • Stages of Embryonic Development • Incubating and Hatching Chicks • Constructing an Egg Incubator • Embryology Projects Formation and Parts of the Egg The avian egg, in all its complexity, is still a mystery. A highly complex reproductive cell, it is essentially a tiny center of life. Initial development of the embryo takes place in the blastoderm. The albumen surrounds the yolk and protects this potential life. It is an elastic, shock-absorbing semi-solid with a high water content. Together, the yolk and albumen are prepared to sustain life - the life of a growing embryo - for three weeks, in the case of the chicken.

  • Follicle Selection and Growth in the Domestic Hen Ovary
    FOLLICLE SELECTION AND GROWTH IN THE DOMESTIC HEN OVARY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Claire Stice Stephens August 2015 © 2015 Claire Stice Stephens FOLLICLE SELECTION AND GROWTH IN THE DOMESTIC HEN OVARY Claire Stice Stephens, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 Ovarian follicle selection and development in domestic hens is highly regulated. A single small follicle (approximately 6-8 mm in diameter) is selected daily and enters the pre-ovulatory hierarchy, continuing to grow until ovulation occurs. We investigated the mechanism(s) involved in follicle selection and subsequent growth before ovulation. In the first study, we found bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) mRNA primarily in the oocyte, and BMP15 protein was detected in 6 and 8 mm follicles around the time of follicle selection. In addition, BMP15 altered mRNA expression of genes associated with follicle selection. Granulosa cell culture with BMP15 increased mRNA levels of follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and decreased both anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and occludin (OCLN). OCLN protein, a tight junction protein, also decreased, suggesting that this oocyte factor may play a pivotal role in follicle selection into the pre-ovulatory hierarchy. Liver-derived yolk material enters follicles via capillaries in the theca layer, ultimately reaching oocytes via paracellular spaces between granulosa cells. Yolk is incorporated into the oocyte by receptor-mediated endocytosis. OCLN may regulate access of yolk material to the oocyte surface. We determined expression and regulation of OCLN in small follicles. OCLN mRNA expression decreased with increasing follicle size.

  • Oogenesis: Single Cell Development and Differentiation ⁎ Jia L
    Developmental Biology 300 (2006) 385–405 www.elsevier.com/locate/ydbio Oogenesis: Single cell development and differentiation ⁎ Jia L. Song, Julian L. Wong, Gary M. Wessel Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry, Box G, Brown University, Providence RI 02912, USA Received for publication 10 May 2006; revised 27 July 2006; accepted 28 July 2006 Available online 5 August 2006 Abstract Oocytes express a unique set of genes that are essential for their growth, for meiotic recombination and division, for storage of nutrients, and for fertilization. We have utilized the newly sequenced genome of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus to identify genes that help the oocyte accomplish each of these tasks. This study emphasizes four classes of genes that are specialized for oocyte function: (1) Transcription factors: many of these factors are not significantly expressed in embryos, but are shared by other adult tissues, namely the ovary, testis, and gut. (2) Meiosis: A full set of meiotic genes is present in the sea urchin, including those involved in cohesion, in synaptonemal complex formation, and in meiotic recombination. (3) Yolk uptake and storage: Nutrient storage for use during early embryogenesis is essential to oocyte function in most animals; the sea urchin accomplishes this task by using the major yolk protein and a family of accessory proteins called YP30. Comparison of the YP30 family members across their conserved, tandem fasciclin domains with their intervening introns reveals an incongruence in the evolution of its major clades. (4) Fertilization: This set of genes includes many of the cell surface proteins involved in sperm interaction and in the physical block to polyspermy.
