Cytological evaluation of the germ cell development strategy within the testis of the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis

2006-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The cytological changes to germ cells were investigated within the seminiferous epithelium of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis). Testicular tissues were collected, embedded in plastic, sectioned on an ultramicrotome, and stained with the periodic acid–Schiff+ procedure followed by a haematoxylin counterstain. Alligators have a prenuptial pattern of germ cell development, where spermatoge...
