The European Zoological Journal, 2022 Although sensitivity to pollutants is well known to be species specific, closely related species are often assumed to respond similarly to them. We tested this assumption, comparing the sensitivity of Ciona intestinalis and Ciona robusta to two common ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Ascidiella aspersa is an ascidian in the class of chordates—the closest relatives of vertebrates. A. aspersa is a potential model organism for bio-imaging studies due to its extremely transparent embryos as well as is a globally distributed cosmopolitan ...

Fluorescent protein voltage probes derived from ArcLight that respond to membrane voltage changes with fast kinetics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We previously reported the discovery of a fluorescent protein voltage probe, ArcLight, and its derivatives that exhibit large changes in fluorescence intensity in response to changes of plasma membrane voltage.

Stimulatory and inhibitory G-protein signaling relays drive cAMP accumulation for timely metamorphosis in the chordate <i>Ciona</i>. [PDF]
ElifeLarvae of the ascidian Ciona initiate metamorphosis tens of minutes after adhesion to a substratum via their adhesive organ. The gap between adhesion and metamorphosis initiation is suggested to ensure the rigidity of adhesion, allowing Ciona to maintain

A comparative analysis of transcription factor expression during metazoan embryonic development [PDF]
, 2013 During embryonic development, a complex organism is formed from a single starting cell. These processes of growth and differentiation are driven by large transcriptional changes, which are following the expression and activity of transcription factors ...

Amylibacter cionae sp. nov., isolated from the sea squirt Ciona savignyi
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017 A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated H-12T, was isolated from a sea squirt (Ciona savignyi) collected from Tsingtao Port, Jiaozhou Bay, China, and its taxonomic position was investigated. Strain H-12T grew optimally at 25-30 °C, at pH 7.0-8.0 and in the presence of 3.0-4.0 % (w/v) NaCl.

CRISPR Knockouts in Ciona Embryos [PDF]
, 2018 Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 has emerged as a revolutionary tool for fast and efficient targeted gene knockouts and genome editing in almost any organism. The laboratory model tunicate Ciona is no exception.

Developmental system drift in motor ganglion patterning between distantly related tunicates
EvoDevo, 2018 Background The larval nervous system of the solitary tunicate Ciona is a simple model for the study of chordate neurodevelopment. The development and connectivity of the Ciona motor ganglion have been studied in fine detail, but how this important ...
