Toxins from ascidians

Toxicon, 1993
A wide range of toxins with interesting pharmacological properties have been isolated from ascidians. These include cyclic peptides, one of which, didemnin B, is undergoing clinical trials for cancer chemotherapy and is also a powerful immunosuppressive agent.

Identification and characterization of proteins involved in stolon adhesion in the highly invasive fouling ascidian Ciona robusta.

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC, 2019
Adhesive ascidians have caused serious biofouling problems and huge economic losses in marine ecosystems. However, adhesion mechanisms, particularly on functional proteins involved in ascidian adhesion, remain largely unexplored.

Ascidian Zic Genes

2018
Ascidians are tunicates, which constitute the sister group of vertebrates. The ascidian genome contains two Zic genes, called Zic-r.a (also called Macho-1) and Zic-r.b (ZicL). The latter is a multi-copy gene, and the precise copy number has not yet been determined.

An ascidian engrailed gene

Development Genes and Evolution, 2002
The engrailed genes play roles in the maintenance of segment polarity in a variety of animals and in the establishment and maintenance of the mid-brain/hind-brain boundary (MHB) in vertebrates. We isolated an ascidian engrailed gene and analyzed its expression pattern during early development. Expression begins at the neurula stage and is restricted to

Ascidian one‐half embryos can develop into functional adult ascidians

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1983
AbstractAlthough adult ascidians have remarkable regenerative potency, the ascidian egg is considered a typical “mosaic” egg. A single blastomere isolated at the two‐cell stage develops into a half tadpole with minor or major defects, and this rigidity of ascidian development is known to depend on the localization of cytoplasmic determinants.

Interspecific Fertilization in Ascidians

Nature, 1948
THE only experimental work on interspecific fertilization in Ascidians known to me is that of Reverberi1, who succeeded in fertilizing Ciona intestinalis eggs with Phallusia mamillata sperms after removal of the egg membranes. He availed himself of Morgan‘s observation that in Ciona only the egg membranes oppose self-fertilization.

Ecology of Ascidians

2016
Ascidians/tunicates are one of the dominant members in the benthic macrofauna and contribute more significantly to raise the biodiversity of marine ecosystem by extending their distribution on a variety of natural as well as the artificial substratum across the world.

Classification of Ascidians

2016
The mysterious morphological structure of ascidians was taken into account for classification by various researchers. Herdman (1882) has given a classification of tunicate based upon the external features in relation to gemmation and formation of colonies.
