Polar Constituents of the Tunicate Botryllus schlosseri

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2002
Eighteen compounds were identified by GC-MS of their trimethylsilyl derivatives in n-butanolic extract from the biomass of Botryllus schlosseri. Three of them, 5-oxoproline, 5-hydroxyhydantoin, and kinurenic acid, were found in marine invertebrates for the first time. In addition to cellulose, the biomass was also shown to contain complex water-soluble

Stress Granule Related-Genes During Blastogenetic Cycle of Two Colonial Ascidians: Botryllus schlosseri Compared to Botryllus Primigenus

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics
Background: Colonial ascidians are chordates known to reproduce both sexually and asexually. In the present study we used the Mediterranean species Botryllus schlosseri and the Japanese Botryllus primigenus to investigate the possible role of tiar, ttp ...

Chimeras and histocompatibility in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1988
Chimeras of B. schlosseri were prepared by pairwise combination of colonies sharing one allele at the fusibility gene locus (AD = AC chimeras). A frequent resorption of one of the partners was observed and the resorption time was shown to be significantly correlated with the relative size, the resorbing partner being usually the larger.

Interpopulational allogeneic reactions in the colonial protochordate Botryllus schlosseri

International Immunology, 1991
Botryllus schlosseri is a cosmopolitan encrusting colonial tunicate which undergoes a natural transplantation reaction. When the growing edges of two colonies come into direct contact by interaction between their extracorporeal blood vessel termini, the ampullae, they either reject each other or fuse.

Cellular aspects of allorecognition in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2004
We studied changes in the morphology of morula cells, a common haemocyte type in botryllid ascidians, during both the rejection reaction (occurring between contacting, genetically incompatible colonies) and fusion (occurring between compatible colonies), and in short-term cultures of haemocytes incubated with heterologous or autologous blood plasma. In

Colony specificity and chemotaxis in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2006
We re-investigated the behavior of hemocytes during the non-fusion (rejection) reaction between genetically incompatible colonies of the ascidian Botryllus schlosseri. In the course of the reaction, hemocytes - mainly morula cells - crowd inside the blind ends of marginal vascular vessels (known as ampullae) of the colonial leading edge (LE) facing the

Botryllus schlosseri : A model ascidian for the study of asexual reproduction

Developmental Dynamics, 2006
Abstract Botryllus schlosseri , a cosmopolitan colonial ascidian reared in the laboratory for more than 50 years, reproduces both sexually and asexually and is used as a model organism for studying a variety of biological problems.
