(A) Young Volvox adult, with about 2,000 small somatic cells in a monolayer at the surface, and nineteen large gonidia embedded in the extracellular matrix (ECM), just under the somatic cell layer. (B ...
How does multicellularity evolve? Scientists who study a family of green algae that includes unicellular Chlamydomonas and multicellular Volvox are beginning to find answers to this question. Before ...
The membrane structural lipids of somatic cells and gonidia isolated from Volvox carteri f. nagariensis spheroids have been characterized. The principal polar lipid components of both cell types are ...
La Jolla, CA-A multicellular green alga, Volvox carteri, may have finally unlocked the secrets behind the evolution of different sexes. A team led by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological ...
Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae. Until now, little was known about how ...
The sex-inducing pheromone of the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri is a glycoprotein that triggers development of males and females at a concentration $<10^{-16}$ M. By differential screening ...
