    Notes: Summary Mutations previously known to affect early neurogenesis inDrosophila melanogaster have been found also to affect the development of the peripheral nervous system. Anti-HRP antibody staining has shown that larval epidermal sensilla of homozygous mutant embryos occur in increased numbers, which depend on the allele considered. This increase is apparently due to the development into sensory organs of cells which in the wild-type would have developed as non-sensory epidermis. Thus, neurogenic genes act whenever developing cells have to decide between neurogenic and epidermogenic fates, both in central and peripheral nervous systems. Different regions of the ectodermal germ layer are distinguished with respect to their neurogenic abilities.

    Notes: Summary The pattern of cell proliferation and cell movements inDrosophila embryogenesis has been analysed with the aim of constructing a blastoderm fate map. Post-blastoderm cell proliferation starts at gastrulation and ends around the stage of germ band shortening. Three mitotic waves affect the embryonic cells according to a constant spatio-temporal pattern. For any of these waves mitotic activity starts at well-defined loci, which have been called mitotic centres. During the first and second mitotic waves all cells undergo mitosis, except for those of the amnioserosa, which do not proliferate at all. The third wave spares most of the ectodermal cells. Neuroblasts, progenitors of epidermal sensilla and germ line cells show their own, different pattern of proliferation.

    Second-site modifiers of the Delta wing phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster (1992)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary We have screened for dominant enhancers and suppressors of the wing phenotype associated with two Delta alleles: Dl 9P39, an amorphic allele, and Dl FE32, an antimorphic allele. The interactions of some of the modifiers with Delta are due to haplo-insufficient expression of the corresponding genes. Although not explicitly shown for the remaining cases, we assume that haploin-sufficiency is also the basis for the relationships of these genes to Delta, since no allele specific interactions were observed. The modifiers found define 22 genes with pleiotropic expression, which can be classified into two groups: genes required for wing vein pattern formation and for neurogenesis, and genes which are not required for neurogenesis. Among the genes of the first group, Hairless and Star were previously known to participate in neural development. One further modifier was found which may correspond to a new neurogenic gene. The second group of genes is larger and includes already known loci, e.g., Plexate, blistered, plexus, etc, as well as other previously unidentified genes, which function during wing morphogenesis.

    Notes: Summary In Drosophila melanogaster the neuroblasts separate from epidermoblasts to give rise to the neural primordium. This process is under the control of several genes. The group of the so-called neurogenic genes is required for epidermal development; other genes, comprising those of the achaete-scute complex and daughterless, are required for neural development. We have studied the relationships between both groups of genes in two different ways. We have analyzed the phenotype of double-mutant embryos and our results show that the neural hyperplasia caused by neurogenic mutations can be partially prevented if a mutation in one of the other genes is present in the same genome. Only the neural cells that do not require the function of a particular gene of the achaete-scute complex in the wild-type seem to develop to a neural fate in the double mutant embryos. At least some of the genetic interactions affect the transcriptional level, as shown by in situ hybridization, since the territories of transcription of the achaetescute genes are expanded in neurogenic mutants. All cells of the neurogenic region of the double mutants apparently initiate neural development. However, during later development some of these cells switch their fate either to epidermogenesis or to cell death and this leads to the final phenotype of the double mutants. We discuss these results with respect to the events of early neurogenesis.

    Notes: Summary In this paper experiments concerning some aspects of the development of pole cells and midgut progenitors in Drosophila are reported. Cells were labelled by injecting horseradish-peroxidase (HRP) in embryos before pole bud formation and transplanted at different stages into unlabelled embryos, where the transplanted cells developed together with the unlabelled cells of the host. The hosts were then fixed and stained at different ages in order to demonstrate the presence of HRP in the progenies of transplanted cells. The main conlusions of the study are as follows. The gonads are the only organ to the formation of which pole cells normally contribute; those pole cells which do not participate in the formation of the gonads are finally eliminated or degenerate. Since the number of primordial germ cells in the gonads is the same irrespective of the number of pole cells present in the embryo, an (unknown) mechanism must exist regulating the final number of pole cells in each of the gonads. After their formation and before reaching the gonads, pole cells have been found to divide only up to two times. With respect to the midgut progenitors, the cells of both anlagen have been found to be committed to develop into midgut, although they behave as equivalent in that they do not apparently distinguish between the anterior and posterior anlage. Midgut progenitors have been found to divide a maximum of three times and to produce two different types of cells, epithelial cells of the midgut wall and spindle-like cells located internally in the gut.

    Notes: Summary We have searched for dominant modifiers, i.e., enhancers and suppressors, of the compound eye phenotype of split, a recessive viable allele of Notch. Among the spl modifiers found, we have detected mutations in loci whose functions were previously known to cooperate with Notch in embryonic neurogenesis, such as daughterless, master mind, Delta and Hairless. In addition, other spl modifier mutations have been found in loci that were not previously known to interact with Notch, such as scabrous, glass, roughened eye, and several other genes that have not yet been assigned to known loci. The phenotypes associated with mutations in some of these latter loci suggest the participation of the corresponding genes in embryonic neurogenesis. We show that in some cases the observed interactions are due to genetic haplo-insufficent expression of the genes, whereas allele-specific interactions with spl are observed in master mind and Delta alleles. From this observation, we propose a direct functional association between the proteins encoded by Notch, Delta and master mind.

    A clonal analysis of spinal cord development in the zebrafish (1997)

    Notes: Abstract  We describe the results of a clonal analysis of spinal cord development in the zebrafish. The data were obtained from embryos in which fluorescent lineage tracer was injected into single cells in the neural plate at the two-somite stage. Injected animals were allowed to survive until either 4 days or 2 weeks postfertilization. In other experiments, bromodeoxy uridine (BrdU) was injected intraperitoneally at 30 h postfertilization (hpf) after lineage tracer injection in the neural plate at the two-somite stage, and the embryos fixed at 38 hpf. We restricted our experiments to the thoracic region of the spinal cord. Our experiments were aimed at answering questions regarding the proliferative abilities of neuroepithelial cells during embryonic development (as deduced from the size of the clones), the modes of cell division (as deduced from the uptake of BrdU into clone cells), positional differences in the proliferation of cells within the neural plate itself, the cellular composition of the clones, and cell dispersion (deduced from the regional distribution of clone cells).

    Notes: Abstract  To analyse the proliferative abilities of cells within particular regions of the zebrafish neural plate, injections of fluorescein-dextran were made into single cells at either medial or intermediary positions in the neural plate region of two-somite stage embryos. The resulting cell clones were analysed in 3.5-day-old embryos. Clones with similar compositions were found among those derived from injections in both regions, and these were grouped into classes. 78 clones 29 obtained following injections in the medial region, and 22 of 59 cell clones derived from injections in the intermediary region, were classifiable into 9 and 10 different classes, respectively, each comprising a variable number of clones. Several identified cell types, as well as each of the clone classes themselves, were specific for the regions of the neural plate from which they derived, i.e. they were not represented among the clones derived from the other region. These results suggest that the composition of the lineages derived from particular cells is constant in different animals.

    On the phenotype and development of mutants of early neurogenesis inDrosophila melanogaster (1983)

    Notes: Summary The central nervous system (CNS) ofDrosophila develops from precursor cells called neuroblasts. Neuroblasts segregate in early embryogenesis from an apparantly undifferentiated ectoderm and move into the embryo, whereas most of the remaining ectodermal cells continue development as epidermal cell precursors. Segregation of neuroblasts occurs within a region called the neurogenic field. We are interested in understanding how the genome ofDrosophila controls the parcelling of the ectoderm into epidermal and neural territories. We describe here mutations belonging to seven complementation groups which effect an abnormal neurogenesis. The phenotypes produced by these mutations are similar. Essential features of these phenotypes are a conspicuous hypertrophy of the CNS accompanied by epidermal defects; the remaining organs and tissues of the mutants are apparently unaffected. The study of mutant phenotype development strongly suggests this phenotype to be due to misrouting into the neural pathway of development of ectodermal cells which in the wildtype would have given rise to epidermal cells, i.e. to an initial enlargement of the neurogenic region at the expense of the epidermogenic region. These observations indicate that the seven genetic loci revealed by the mutations described in this study contribute to control the neurogenic field. The present results suggest that in wildtype development neurogenic genes are supressed within all derivatives of the mesoderm and endoderm and some derivatives of the ectoderm, and conditionally expressed in the remaining ectoderm. The organisation of the neurogenic field in the wildtype is discussed.

    Early neurogenesis in wild-typeDrosophila melanogaster (1984)

    Notes: Summary This paper deals with morphological aspects of early neurogenesis inDrosophila, in particular with the segregation of neuroblasts from the neurogenic region of the ectoderm and the pattern formed by those wells within both the germ band and the procephalic lobe. The neurogenic ectoderm was found to contain neural precursors intermingled with epidermal precursors, extending from the midline up to the primordia of the tracheal tree along the germ band and laterodorsally in the procephalic lobe. Germ band neuroblasts segregate from the neurogenic ectoderm during a period of several hours according to characteristic spatial and temporal patterns. During the first half of the segregation process the pattern of germ band neuroblasts was found to be the same in different animals in both spatial arrangement and number of cells; this permitted the identification of individual neuroblasts from different embryos. Later in development several difficulties were encountered which precluded an exact description of the neuroblast pattern. The constitution of the neurogenic region is discussed in relation to the phenotype of mutants affecting neurogenesis.
