Abstract
Heat shock has been used to inhibit cleavage for the induction of monogenic diploids or tetraploid in animals, but usually the success rate is low. Heat-shocked rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss embryos were used in this histological study to clarify the causes of this low success rate. Embyros treated with hydrostatic pressure were used for comparison. After heat shock had disorganized the spindles, polypolar (tripolar or tetrapolar) spindles in addition to bipolar spindles were often reassembled soon after treatment. The embryos then completed tripolar or tetrapolar division at the first mitosis, and directly turned into three- or four-cell embryos as a result of the first cleavage. During the second mitosis, a monopolar spindle was formed in each blastomere of four-cell embryos and approximately 60% of three-cell embryos. In the remaining three-cell embryos, two of the three blastomeres formed a monopolar spindle, and the third one formed a bipolar spindle. The formation of polypoles is assumed to be caused by insufficient disorganization of daughter centrioles and splitting from the mother centriole by heat shock. Polypolar division is considered to be the cause of aneuploidy and the low success rate of chromosome set doubling. In the case of hydrostatic pressure treatment, the regenerated spindles were bipolar in almost all embryos.
