  • Oogenesis and Mode of Reproduction in the Soybean Cyst Nematode, Heterodera Glycines1)
    OOGENESIS AND MODE OF REPRODUCTION IN THE SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE, HETERODERA GLYCINES1) BY A. C. TRIANTAPHYLLOU and HEDWIG HIRSCHMANN Departments of Genetics and Plant Pathology, North Carolina State College, Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A. Oögenesis and mode of reproduction were studied in four populations of the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines. Oögonial divisions occurred before and during the fourth molt. Maturation of oöcytes proceeded only in inseminated females and was normal, consisting of two meiotic divisions and the formation of two polar nuclei. Nine bivalents were present at metaphase I in all populations. Sperm entered the oöcytes at late prophase or early metaphase I. Following the second maturation division, sperm and egg pronuclei fused to form the zygote nucleus. Six females obtained from 200 larval inoculations of soybean seedlings failed to produce embryonated eggs and showed marked retardation in growth. In conclusion, H. glycines has a normal meiotic cycle and reproduces by cross fertilization. "Prior to 1940, there was a strong tendency to refer all of the cyst-forming nematodes to a single species, Heterodera schachtii Schmidt ..." (Taylor, 1957 ) . Infraspecific categories identified on the basis of host preferences were later distinguished by slight morphological differences and were described as separate species. Although as many as fifteen or sixteen species have been recognized, the taxonomic situation is far from satisfactory. The specific rank of some species is questionable, whereas other species contain forms which may well deserve specific rank. Cytological and, furthermore, cytogenetical studies may elucidate the evolutionary relationships among the various Heterodera species. Information on various aspects of oogenesis of six Heterodera species is already available (Mulvey, 1957, 1958, 1960; Riley & Chapman, 1957; Cotten, 1960).

BOWLES, DVM, D ipl ABVP-A vian , Certified in Veterinary Acupuncture (C hi Institute ) Reproductive Embryology, Anatomy and Physiology FORMATION OF THE AVIAN GONADS AND REPRODUCTIVE ANATOMY The avian gonads arise from more than one embryonic source. The medulla or core arises from the meso- nephric ducts. The outer cortex arises from a thickening of peritoneum along the root of the dorsal mesentery within the primitive gonadal ridge. Mesodermal germ cells that arise from yolk-sac endoderm migrate into this gonadal ridge, forming the ovary. The cells are initially distributed equally to both sides. In the hen, these germ cells are then preferentially distributed to the left side, and migrate from the right to the left side as well.58 Some avian species do in fact have 2 ovaries, including the brown kiwi and several raptor species. Sexual differ- entiation begins by day 5 in passerines and domestic fowl and by day 11 in raptor species. Differentiation of the ovary is characterized by development of the cortex, while the medulla develops into the testis.30,58 As the embryo develops, the germ cells undergo three phases of oogenesis. During the first phase, the oogonia actively divide for a defined time period and then stop at the first prophase of the first maturation division. During the second phase, the germ cells grow in size to become primary oocytes. This occurs approximately at the time of hatch in domestic fowl. During the third phase, oocytes complete the first maturation division to 18_Reproductive.qxd 8/23/2005 11:44 AM Page 520 520 Clinical Avian Medicine - Volume II become secondary oocytes.

  • Sperm Storage in the Oviduct of the American Alligator DANIEL H
    JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY 309A:581–587 (2008) Sperm Storage in the Oviduct of the American Alligator DANIEL H. GIST1Ã, APRIL BAGWILL2, VALENTINE LANCE3, 2 4 DAVID M. SEVER , AND RUTH M. ELSEY 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 2Department of Biological Sciences, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, Louisiana 3San Diego State University, Graduate School of Public Health, San Diego, California 4Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, Grand Chenier, Louisiana ABSTRACT Oviducts of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) were examined histologically for the presence of stored sperm. Two regions containing sperm were identified, one at the junction of the posterior uterus and the vagina (UVJ) and the other at the junction of the tube and isthmus (TIJ). In these areas, sperm were found in the lumina of oviductal glands. The glands in these areas of the oviduct are diffuse and shallow and appear to allow better access to sperm than glands located elsewhere. Histochemically, the glands of the UVJ reacted weakly for carbohydrates and proteins, whereas those of the TIJ reacted strongly for these same two components, secretions of which are associated with sperm storage structures in other reptiles. Sperm were not in contact with the glandular epithelium, and glands at the UVJ contained more sperm than those at the TIJ. Oviductal sperm storage was observed not only in recently mated females but in all females possessing uterine eggs as well as all females known to be associated with a nest. We conclude that female alligators are capable of storing sperm in their oviductal glands, but not from one year to the next.

  • The Freshwater Ichthyofauna of Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea!
    Pacific Science (1999), vol. 53, no. 4: 346-356 © 1999 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved The Freshwater Ichthyofauna of Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea! J. H. POWELL AND R. E. POWELL2 ABSTRACT: Tailings disposal from the Bougainville Copper Limited open-cut porphyry copper mine on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea (1972-1989) impacted the ichthyofauna of the Jaba River, one of the largest rivers on the island. To assess the 'extent of this impact, comparative freshwater ichthyologi­ cal surveys were conducted in five rivers on the island during the period 1975­ 1988. Fifty-eight fish species were recorded, including one introduction, Oreo­ chromis mossambicus. The icthyofauna is dominated by euryhaline marine spe­ cies consistent with that of the Australian region, but more depauperate. There are more than 100 species present on mainland New Guinea that are absent from Bougainville streams. Oreochromis mossambicus was the most abundant species in the sampled streams, accounting for 45% of the catch. The most abundant native fishes were the mainly small Gobiidae and Eleotridae. There were few native fish of potential value as food and these were restricted to an eleotrid gudgeon (Ophieleotris aporos), tarpon (Megalops cyprinoides), eel (An­ guilla marmorata), and snappers (Lutjanus argentimaculatus and Lutjanus fus­ cescens). Fish production in the rivers is limited by the morphology of the streams and the depauperate ichthyofauna. Fish yield from the Jaba River in its premining state is estimated to have ranged from 7 to 12 t/yr. The popula­ tion living in the Jaba ,catchment in 1988 (approximately 4,600 persons) shared this resource, resulting in an extremely low per-capita fish consumption rate of less than 3 kg/yr.

Usage guidelines Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
