Gene expression throughout a vertebrate's embryogenesis

Gene Expression and Embryogenesis in Amphibians

α-Synuclein gene expression profile in the retina of vertebrates

PURPOSE Alpha-synuclein is a Parkinson's disease-linked protein of ubiquitous expression in the central nervous system. It has a proposed role in the modulation of neurotransmission and synaptic function. This study was aimed at analyzing expression of the alpha-synuclein gene in the normal retina, and characterizing its pattern of distribution in the different retinal cell types and layers in ...

Gene Expression during Indirect Somatic Embryogenesis of Plants

Somatic embryogenesis is the process by which somatic cells are induced into an embryogenic state, followed by differentiation into embryos. Somatic embryogenesis, in addition to being a method of propagation, can serve as an experimental tool for research into plant embryo development. This is a review of the current literature on in vitro plant somatic embryogenesis and the molecular advances...

Expression of Hr-Erf Gene during Ascidian Embryogenesis

FGF9/16/20 signaling pathway specify the developmental fates of notochord, mesenchyme, and neural cells in ascidian embryos. Although a conserved Ras/MEK/Erk/Ets pathway is known to be involved in this signaling, the detailed mechanisms of regulation of FGF signaling pathway have remained largely elusive. In this study, we have isolated Hr-Erf, an ascidian orthologue of vertebrate Erf, to eluci...
