Notes:
When spermiogenesis of Eurygaster integriceps occurs, the pattern of the round nucleus of the spermaiid changes under the influence of a manchette consisting of two large groups of microtubules (up to 130-140 in each). The pericentriolar matter was found to be involved in the changes in the nuclear pattern; it takes part in the formation of the asymmetric intranuclear channel, open at one side. Two zones appear in the nucleus that differ greatly in their rates of chromatin condensation. The two main parts of the future nucleus are thereby established: the apical one with a greater rate of chromatin condensation, which gives origin to the two-walled cylinder, and the outer part, which grows for a long time and extends caudally to the middle piece. At the later stages of nucleus formation, when its larger part is separated from the surface of the middle piece, the vesicles of the endoplasmic reticulum that penetrate between the Nebenkern and the larger part of the nucleus, play a certain role.
