Journal ArticleDOI
Hen1 is required for oocyte development and piRNA stability in zebrafish
Leonie M. Kamminga,Maartje J. Luteijn,Marjo J. den Broeder,Stefan Redl,Lucas J.T. Kaaij,Elke F. Roovers,Peter Ladurner,Eugene Berezikov,René F. Ketting +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that zebrafish hen1 is specifically expressed in germ cells and is essential for maintaining a female germ line, whereas it is dispensable in the testis, and the existence of a uridylation‐mediated 3′–5′ exonuclease activity acting on piRNAs inZebrafish germ cells, which is counteracted by nuage‐bound Hen1 protein is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypically plastic adjustment of sex allocation in a simultaneous hermaphrodite
TL;DR: This is the first study that unambiguously shows phenotypically plastic sex allocation in response to mating group size in a simultaneous hermaphrodite and suggests the shift to higher male allocation in larger mating groups predicted by sex allocation theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new model organism among the lower Bilateria and the use of digital microscopy in taxonomy of meiobenthic Platyhelminthes: Macrostomum lignano ,n . sp. (Rhabditophora, Macrostomorpha)
TL;DR: The small size, with only about 25 000 cells constituting the major bilaterian organ systems, makes this simultaneous hermaphrodite a possible candidate for a new model organism that is phylogenetically more basal than any of the model organisms currently used in such studies within the Bilateria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution and differentiation potential of stem cells in hatchlings and adults in the marine platyhelminth macrostomum sp.: a bromodeoxyuridine analysis.
TL;DR: The idea of platyhelminth neoblasts as an unparalleled stem-cell system within the Animal Kingdom calling for further investigation is strengthened.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flatworm stem cells and the germ line: developmental and evolutionary implications of macvasa expression in Macrostomum lignano.
Daniela Pfister,Katrien De Mulder,Katrien De Mulder,Volker Hartenstein,Georg Kuales,Gaetan Borgonie,Florentine Marx,Joshua Morris,Peter Ladurner +8 more
TL;DR: The results corroborate the exclusive nature of the flatworm stem cell system but challenge the concept of a solely postembryonic specification of the germ line in Platyhelminthes.
