5 Vitellogenesis and Oocyte Assembly
1988Publisher Summary This chapter describes the different aspects of vitellogenesis and oocyte assembly. The major components of fish oocytes are derived from the blood-borne high-molecular-weight compound, vitellogenin, which is synthesized in the liver of oviparous vertebrates.

Oocyte Growth and Vitellogenesis
1988In the last few years, due to the advances made in biochemistry, electron microscopy, and cytochemistry, a functional approach to the solution of a number of problems regarding the biology of development has become possible. One of these problems is the development of the organization of the mature egg.

Hormonal and Genetic Regulation of Vitellogenesis in Drosophila
The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1982Morphological, genetic, and hormonal studies of the process of vitellogenesis, whereby yolk is accumulated in the developing oocytes, have been going on for many years in Drosophila. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in vitellogenesis, for it provides a model system for investigating how eukaryotic genes are regulated. The proteins found

Vitellogenesis and Oocyte Growth in Nonmammalian Vertebrates
1985The outstanding characteristic of most vertebrate eggs is their large size. These specialized cells have grown so huge that many can be appreciated without instrumental aids as part of our manifest environment—from the amphibian eggs that grace rural ponds to the omelets and caviar that complement our cuisine.
