Early zebrafish development: it's in the maternal genes.

Abrams Elliott W, Mullins Mary C

Abstract excerpt

The earliest stages of embryonic development in all animals examined rely on maternal gene products that are generated during oogenesis and supplied to the egg. The period of maternal control of embryonic development varies among animals according to the onset of zygotic transcription and the persistence of maternal gene products. This maternal regulation has been little studied in vertebrates, owing to the...
