Gametogenesis

  • Chapter
The Sea Urchin Embryo

Abstract

The studies on gametogenesis in sea urchins have included a variety of approaches, such as gross morphologic and biochemical investigations of the gonads at different times of the annual reproductive cycle and detailed analyses of structural, physiologic, and molecular changes that occur during growth of the germ cells. Investigations on oogenesis are especially germane to the understanding of the events that take place at fertilization, which has been studied so extensively in sea urchins. The interest of gametogenesis thus extends beyond simply the series of changes that occur during differentiation of the germ cells. Problems related to gametogenesis in sea urchins include the environmental control of cellular processes, the establishment of dormancy in preparation for embryonic life, and the process of early development itself.
