Embryogenesis of the dipluran Lepidocampa weberi Oudemans (Hexapoda, Diplura, Campodeidae): External morphology

Journal of Morphology
Yatsukaho Ikeda, Ryuichiro Machida

Abstract

The external features of the embryo of the dipluran, Lepidocampa weberi Oudemans are described. The long germ band is formed, and blastokinesis is a simple flexion of the germ band. The primary dorsal organ is formed between the cephalic and abdominal ends by concentration of serosal cells. The mouth fold is formed by ventral extension of the intercalary, mandibular, and maxillary terga, through which entognathy is completed. The posteroventral region of the mouth fold develops into the admentum. Rotation of the labial anlagen is involved in labial formation, and the glossa, paraglossa, and labial palp acquire a tandem arrangement. The postmentum is formed by fusion of the labial subcoxae and is appendicular in origin. The styli and exertile vesicles are derived from the distal parts of bifurcated appendicular anlagen of the second to seventh abdominal segments. The columnar appendage of the first abdominal segment is serially homologous with the exertile vesicles of the following segments. The abdomen is composed of ten segments, and the cercus is the appendage of the tenth, last abdominal segment. Embryogenesis of Lepidocampa weberi resembles that of the rhabduran Campodea staphylinus (Uzel, 1898) as well as that of the dicel...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
