Hedgehog signaling controls mouth opening in the amphioxus

Zoological Letters, 2021
Introduction The left-sided position of the mouth in amphioxus larvae has fascinated researchers for a long time. Despite the fundamental importance of mouth development in the amphioxus, the molecular regulation of its development is almost unknown.

Impacts of microplastics and the associated plastisphere on physiological, biochemical, genetic expression and gut microbiota of the filter-feeder amphioxus

Environment International, 2023
Oceanic plastic pollution is of major concern to marine organisms, especially filter feeders. However, limited is known about the toxic effects of the weathered microplastics instead of the pristine ones.

Genomic Analysis of Amphioxus Reveals a Wide Range of Fragments Homologous to Viral Sequences

Viruses, 2023
Amphioxus species are considered living fossils and are important in the evolutionary study of chordates and vertebrates. To explore viral homologous sequences, a high-quality annotated genome of the Beihai amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri beihai) was ...

Restricted Proliferation During Neurogenesis Contributes to Regionalisation of the Amphioxus Nervous System

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The central nervous system of the cephalochordate amphioxus consists of a dorsal neural tube with an anterior brain. Two decades of gene expression analyses in developing amphioxus embryos have shown that, despite apparent morphological simplicity, the ...

Year-round reproduction and induced spawning of Chinese amphioxus, Branchiostoma belcheri, in laboratory. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Amphioxus is a best candidate for studying the evolutionary and developmental mechanisms of vertebrates, because of its vertebrate-like but much simpler morphology, embryonic development and genome structure.
