Chemotaxis of the spermatozoa of Ciona intestinalis

Nature, 1975
CHEMOTAXIS of animal sperm, long thought not to occur1–4, was first proved in the marine coelenterate Campanularia5 and since then has been observed in other hydroids6,8. The species-specificities and cross reactions between sperm and reproductive structures of these species and genera have been described6, and some of the attractants have been ...

Three insulin–relaxin-like genes in Ciona intestinalis

Peptides, 2006
The Ciona intestinalis genome harbors three insulin-like genes: INS-L1, -L2 and -L3. Conserved synteny between the Ciona-human genomes predicts that Ciona INS-Ls are orthologous to the vertebrate insulin-relaxin family, but this relation cannot be inferred from molecular phylogeny. A conserved protein core with six cysteines; typical arrangement of B-,

Fgf genes in the basal chordate Ciona intestinalis

Development Genes and Evolution, 2002
In vertebrates, a number of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been shown to play important roles in developing embryos and adult organisms. However, the molecular relationships of the vertebrate FGFs are not yet completely understood, partly due to the divergence of their amino acid sequences. To solve this problem, we have identified six FGF genes

An analysis of the genome of Ciona intestinalis

Gene, 2002
An analysis by CsCl density gradient centrifugation has shown that, at a fragment size of about 100 kb, the DNA of a urochordate, Ciona intestinalis, is remarkably homogeneous in base composition. Localization of 16 coding sequences from C. intestinalis, chosen so as to cover the distribution range of all available coding sequences for this organism ...

Glutamatergic networks in the Ciona intestinalis larva

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2008
AbstractGlutamate is a major neurotransmitter in the excitatory synapses of both vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems and is involved in many neural processes including photo‐, mechano‐, and chemosensations, neural development, motor control, learning, and memory.

Granular haemocytes of Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata, Ascidiacea) [Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata, Ascidiacea) de granüler hemositler]

2019
The granular blood cells of Tunicates are distinguished in six different types according to the granular density, amount, localization and other cytoplasmic characteristics. They're compared with those of invertebrates and Amphioxus which is the closest group to the Tunicates.
