Background: Parthenogenetic and androgenetic embryos fail to develop to term, possibly because of genomic imprinting, an epigenetic alteration of certain genes, depending on the parent of origin. The effect of this phenomenon has been studied mainly in mid-gestation embryos, without morphological ab

## Abstract Four developmental stages of __Xenopus laevis__ embryos were fixed in standard electron microscopic fixatives with 1% lanthanum nitrate added. This treatment reveals a lanthanum staining material (LSM) on the cell surface and in extracellular spaces. Morula and blastula stage cells have
In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, diapause occurs at a specific embryonic stage, i.e. after formation of the germ band with cephalic lobes and telson and sequential mesoderm segmentation. As long as the eggs are incubated at 25 Β° C, cell divisions and morphological development of the embryos cease. To e
Successful development of porcine embryos from the one-cell stage to the blastocyst stage has been accomplished using mouse oviducts in organ culture. One-cell embryos were transferred to mouse oviducts maintained in organ culture and were cultured for 6 days. Control embryos from each donor pig wer
The effect of increasing the embryo:medium volume ratio on overcoming the hamster two-cell block was examined. Two-cell golden hamster embryos from each superovulated female were cultured in microdrops (estimated at 0.75 microliter) or 100 microliter macrodrops of chemically defined medium (modified
