Action of Colcemid in Sea Urchin Eggs

The effects of Colcemid, the deacetyl-N-methyl derivative of colchicine, on the eggs of Arbacia punctulata were investigated. Colcemid in concentrations of 2.7 x 10(-5)M or greater blocks syngamy (the fusion of the pronuclei) in these eggs. Although a tenfold decrease in concentration of Colcemid usually permits the pronuclei to fuse, the subsequent division is blocked. In the sea urchin egg, t...

Electrophoretic movement of fertilized sea-urchin eggs.

The eccentric shift of the sea-urchin egg within the fertilization membrane under an electric field was analysed by measuring the electrophoretic mobility of the isolated fertilization membrane and that of the egg deprived of the fertilization membrane. In addition, the migration speed of the egg proper was measured within the fertilization membrane under the conditions that: either (1) the mov...

Cleavage of Sea-urchin Eggs in Colchicine

INTRODUCTION We have recently put forward a theory linking mitosis with cleavage, in which we suggest that cleavage is caused by an expansion of the cell cortex which starts at either pole of the cell and later moves round to the region of the furrow (Mitchison, 1952). There is evidence that this expansion is brought about by substances diffusing from the two groups of daughter chromosomes whic...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Cytasters induced within unfertilized sea-urchin eggs.

Conditions that induce the formation of asters in unfertilized sea-urchin eggs have been investigated. Monasters were formed by treatment of eggs with acidic or basic sea-water, or procaine- or thymol-containing sea-water. A second treatment step, incubation with D2O-containing, ethanol-containing or hypertonic sea-water induced multiple cytasters. The number and size of cytasters varied accord...
