Sperm hyaluronidase is critical to mammals' fertilization for its ability to disperse cumulus–oocyte complex layer

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2022
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored sperm hyaluronidases have long been believed to assist in sperm penetration through the cumulus–oocyte complex (COC); however, their role in mammalian fertilization remains unclear.

The oral-aboral axis of a sea urchin embryo is specified by first cleavage [PDF]

, 1989
Several lines of evidence suggest that the oral-aboral axis in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos is specified at or before the 8-cell stage. Were the oral-aboral axis specified independently of the first cleavage plane, then a random association of ...

Double Fertilization and Embryogenesis of Eustoma grandiflorum

Journal of the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2011
The double fertilization process and the development of endosperm and embryo were observed by microscopy in Eustoma grandiflorum. The flowers were fixed at various times after hand-pollination during stages of pollen tube extension, entry of pollen tubes into ovule, double fertilization, and early development of the embryo.
