Ascidian notochord morphogenesis [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2007 AbstractThe development of the notochord involves a complex set of cellular behaviors. While these morphogenic behaviors are common to all chordates, the ascidian provides a particularly attractive experimental model because of its relative simplicity. In particular, all notochord morphogenesis in ascidians takes place with only 40 cells, as opposed to

Metamorphosis in solitary ascidians [PDF]
genesis, 2014 SummaryEmbryonic and postembryonic development in ascidians have been studied for over a century, but it is only in the last 10 years that the complex molecular network involved in coordinating postlarval development and metamorphosis has started to emerge.

The relationship between Ascidians and plastic pollution: A systematic review of interaction mechanisms, biological impacts, and ecological roles [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesMicroplastic (MP) and nanoplastic (NP) pollution are global threats that permeate marine ecosystems. As sessile filter-feeders, ascidians interact heavily with these pollutants.

Biological and Chemical Diversity of Ascidian-Associated Microorganisms
Marine Drugs, 2018 Ascidians are a class of sessile filter-feeding invertebrates, that provide unique and fertile niches harboring various microorganisms, such as bacteria, actinobacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi.

Brain Sensory Organs of the Ascidian Ciona robusta: Structure, Function and Developmental Mechanisms
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 During evolution, new characters are designed by modifying pre-existing structures already present in ancient organisms. In this perspective, the Central Nervous System (CNS) of ascidian larva offers a good opportunity to analyze a complex phenomenon ...

Developmental Biology, 2019 The elongation of embryo and tissue is a key morphogenetic event in embryogenesis and organogenesis. Notochord, a typical chordate organ, undergoes elongation to perform its regulatory roles and to form the structural support in the embryo. Notochord elongation is morphologically similar across all chordates, but ascidian has evolved distinct molecular

Behavioural Responses to Ultrasound Antifouling Systems by Adult Solitary Ascidians
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Ultrasonic antifouling devices are installed globally on a variety of vessel types and are marketed as an environmentally friendly method for biofouling control. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of ultrasound on adults of three species of

Zoological Letters, 2019 Background In the previous paper published in 2017, we described the structure of Hox gene cluster of the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi, and discussed the scenario for the disintegration of Hox gene clusters during evolution of ascidians. The description
