necessary and sufficient for the pole plasm formation, and the germ cell specification/determination
Mutations in any of those genes, e.g oskar, result in the affected homozygous individual being “grandchildless”. Its offsprings (F1) lack a proper pole plasm, and although they may 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
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
The adult gonads and early development of the fertilized egg in C elegans
The cell lineage chart in the development of C elegans
558 cells present in the newly hatched larva, 959 somatic cells in the adult
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.

The germ cell development and fertilization
How How
are the germ cells specified and determined?
Origin of the PGCs in Drosophila
The PGCs known as pole cells become distinct at the posterior pole of the egg about 90 minutes after fertilization. The cytoplasm at the posterior pole is called pole plasm and is distinguished by large organelles, the polar granules, which contains both proteins and mRNAs
In mice, At day 6.5 of embryonic development, BMP4 and BMP8b
from the extraembryonic ectoderm give certain cells in this area the ability to produce germ cells.
P granules in C. elegans
Polar granules in Drosophila Germinal granules in Xenopus
The germ cell fate of C. elegans is determined at the 16-cell embryo
The gene oskar is sufficient to specify the germ cells in Drosophila
Functionally conserved genes in Germ-Cell Development
Origin of the PGCs in mammals
The pole plasm includes several components that are crucial for the
PGC determination. Those are mRNA of gcl (germ cell less) gene, Oskar, Nanos, Vasa, mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (mtr RNA) etc.
Specification and determination of the PGCs
Gametes in
all sexually reproducing organisms arise from the primordial germ cells (PGCs)
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 determinants are collectively referred to as the germ plasm(生殖质)
are the primordial germ cells differentiated into eggs and sperm? (including meiosis)
Fertilization
and activation of the egg by the sperm that initiates the embryonic development.
Germ
plasm can be identified morphologically by the presence of conspicuous wenku.baidu.comembrane-unbound organelles with an electrondense granulofibrillar appearance called germ granules
The molecular mechanisms underlying the specification and determination of the PGCs in Drosophila (I)
In Drosophila, the PGCs form as a group of pole cells at the posterior
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.
