A positive feedback loop between germ cells and gonads induces and maintains cnidarian sexual reproduction

2024-05-16

Abstract excerpt

The fertile gonad includes cells of two distinct developmental origins: the somatic mesoderm and the germline. How somatic and germ cells interact to develop and maintain fertility is not well understood. Here, using grafting experiments and transgenic reporter animals, we find that a specific part of the gonad–the germinal zone–acts as a sexual organizer to induce and maintain de novo germ cells and somatic gona...
