✦ Synopsis

Maturation-promoting factor (MPF) has been known to be produced in the cytoplasm of starfish and amphibian oocytes, where it triggers meiotic maturation. Cytoplasm obtained from maturing oocytes of either mouse or surf clam was found to induce maturation when injected into immature starfish oocytes. These facts suggest that MPF is also produced in oocytes of the mouse and surf clam and that MPF acts in a general, nonspecific manner in mammals, echinoderms, and molluscs.

Cross-reactivity of maturation-inducing factors was studied between sea cucumbers and starfish. Radial nerve extracts from both sea cucumbers and starfish induce maturation in ovarian oocytes associated with follicle cells but not in follicle-free oocytes.

## Abstract Fully grown oocytes of starfish __(Asterias forbesi)__ are normally arrested in the dictyate stage of meiosis within the ovary. Reinitiation of meiotic maturation in these oocytes appears to be induced as a result of the interaction of 1‐methyladenine (1‐MA) with the oocyte surface. The
