5、ually reproducing organisms arise from the primordial germ cells(PGCs)n In many instances(including nematodes,flies,and frogs),the PGCs are specified and determined autonomously by the cytoplasmic determinants in the egg that are comprised of specific proteins and mRNAs.These cytoplasmic determinant

6、s are collectively referred to as the germ plasm（生殖质生殖质）n Germ plasm can be identified morphologically by the presence of conspicuous membrane-unbound organelles with an electron-dense granulofibrillar appearance called germ granulesP granules in C.elegansPolar granules in DrosophilaGerminal granule

12、ophila,several maternal gene(at least 8 genes)are functionally necessary and sufficient for the pole plasm formation,and the germ cell specification/determination oskar,result in the affected homozygous individual being“grandchildless”.Its offsprings(F1)lack a proper pole plasm,and although they may

13、 develop normally in other ways,they lack germ cells and therefore are sterile(F2).Expression of oskar alone is sufficient for ectopically specifying the germ cells The molecular mechanisms underlying the specification and determination of the PGCs in Drosophila(II)The gene oskar is sufficient to sp

14、ecify the germ cells in DrosophilaFunctionally conserved genes in Germ-Cell Development Origin of the PGCs in mammalsn There is no obvious germ plasm in mammals,and mammalian germ cells are not morphologically distinct during early development.Rather,germ cells are induced in gastrulating embryos n

15、In mice,the germ cells form at the posterior region of the epiblast,at the junction of the extraembryonic ectoderm,epiblast,primitive streak,and allantois.The mammalian PGCs appear to be induced in the early gastrulating embryosThe molecular mechanisms underlying the specification and determination

16、of the PGCsn There is no evidence for germ plasm being involved in germ cell formation in the mouse or other mammals.Instead,germ cell specification in the mouse involves cell-cell interactions.n In mice,At day 6.5 of embryonic development,BMP4 and BMP8b from the extraembryonic ectoderm give certain

17、 cells in this area the ability to produce germ cells.Germ cell specification in the mouse involves cell-cell interactions Germ-cell formation in the mouse.The precursors(white)of primordial germ cells(PGCs)and extra-embryonic mesoderm are induced in the proximal epiblast by signals from the extra-e

27、(purple);anti-Clift labels gonadal mesodermal cells(brown)In columbus mutant embryos,some PGCs fail to migrate from the endoderm to the mesoderm,and instead remain associated with the endoderm(a).In addition,many PGCs that do migrate to the mesoderm fail to associate with the gonadal mesoderm(e),and
