On the occasion of the Symposium on the Bioclicrnical and Structural Basis of Morphogenesis (Utrecht, '52) the prcsent -c~riter ( ' 3 3 ) focused attention on the role that mitochondria may play in the process of the activation of the egg. I t was suggested in particular that upon fertilization the

## Abstract Decreased glycogen radioactivity was followed as an indicator of glycogen utilization following activation of __Strongylocentrotus purpuratus__ eggs. Within 15 minutes of exposure to sperm or ammonia, egg glycogen radioactivity decreased. The level of radioactivity in control (unfertili
## Abstract Cortical granule discharge has been separated from Na^+^ββdependent acid release and the increase of protein synthesis in sea urchin eggs. When 2% egg suspensions are inseminated or treated with the ionophore A23187 in normal sea water, cortical granule discharge is induced and the pH o
Control and y-irradiated sea urchin (Arbacia punctulata) eggs were incubated with H"1eucine. No incorporation of the amino acid into the proteins of most unirradiated eggs was detectable by autoradiography. All irradiated eggs incor-. porated the amino acid and the amount of autoradiographic labelli
A wave front of increased free calcium traversing the egg at fertilization is demonstrated in the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus. The use of the fluorescent calcium chelator fura-2 in combination with low-light-level TV microscopy and image processing allows the visualization of the Ca2+ wave front wi
