[Nuclear structures in the telotrophic ovarioles of nocturnal ground beetles (Tenebrionidae, Polyphaga). II. The oocyte nucleus of Blaps lethifera and Gnaptor spinimanus. Light optical data].
Changes in the nuclear structures and their participation in RNA synthesis in the growing oocytes were followed in two species of beetles Blaps lethifera and Gnaptor spinimanus. In the oocytes of both the species, the chromosomes join into the karyosphere following the short-term lampbrush stage. A large capsule appears around the karayosphere which consists of the fibrous substance, granules and karyosphere nucleoli. The latter form in the karyosphere and contain RNP but they are not true nucleoli since they do not include 3H-uridine. RNA synthesis on the chromosomes, active at the lampbrush stage, falls markedly following their joining into the karyosphere. The oocyte nuclei of these beetles are, thus, characterized by the absence of RNA synthesizing nucleolar system and, as compared with the trophocytes, by the low level of RNA synthesis on the chromosomes.
