(a.) Of or pertaining to the angles of the mouth; as, a gonidial groove of an actinian.
(a.) Pertaining to, or containing, gonidia.
Example Sentences:
(1) When substantial quantities of anterolateral cytoplasm were deleted from uncleaved gonidia or 4-cell stage blastomeres, the cell fragments frequently regulated and embryos were produced with the expected number of asymmetrically cleaving cells and gonidial precursors at their anterior ends.
(2) The gonidial initials then cease dividing before the somatic cell initials do.
(3) Accumulation patterns for the 19 gonidial transcripts fell into two distinct classes: transcripts of one gene were maximally abundant in very early cleavage, whereas transcripts of the other 18 did not reach maximal abundance until quite late in gonidial development.
(4) Later in development, levels of early somatic transcripts fell abruptly, levels of the late somatic transcripts remained extremely low, and levels of gonidial transcripts rose as the cells redifferentiated.
(5) After five symmetrical divisions have produced 32 cells of equal size, the anterior 16 cells cleave asymmetrically, to produce one small somatic cell initial and one larger gonidial initial each.
(6) Furthermore, when compression was used to reorient cleavage planes at the fourth division cycle, so that anterior cytoplasm was transmitted to more than the normal number of cells, those cells receiving a significant amount of such cytoplasm cleaved asymmetrically to produce supernumerary gonidial precursors.
(7) Thus it appears that in the mutant cells the gonidial program of development takes over and somatic differentiation is aborted before the stage at which late somatic genes are normally activated.
(8) However, when anterior cytoplasm was deleted from 8-cell stage blastomeres, the depleted cells frequently failed to cleave asymmetrically and produced no gonidial precursors.
(9) This result indicates that intrinsic features control the cleavage patterns and developmental potentials of blastomeres, and rules out any significant role for cell-cell interactions in gonidial specification.
(10) During the initial period of somatic differentiation, we found that both gonidial and 'early' somatic transcripts were accumulated in the mutant, consistent with the idea that it is the regA gene product (which is defective in this mutant) that normally acts to suppress gonidial gene expression in somatic cells.
(11) Incorporation of 32P into DNA is maximum during gonidial division in both whole spheroids and isolated somatic and reproductive cells.
(12) Incorporation into the gonidial rRNA declines markedly during late stages of gonidial division but increases during daughter spheroid growth.
(13) During each round of embryogenesis in Volvox obversus, eight large gonidial precursors are produced at the anterior extremity of the embryo.
