Germline Cysts and the Formation of the Germinal Epithelium During the Female Gonadal Morphogenesis in <i>Cyprinus carpio</i> (Teleostei: Ostariophysi: Cypriniformes)
22 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
The formation of both germline cysts and the germinal epithelium is described during the ovary development in Cyprinus carpio. As in the undifferentiated gonad of mammals, cords of PGCs become oogonia when they are surrounded by somatic cells.
