Cytoplasmic domains in eggs.
One way of organizing the body plan of a developing embryo is to establish domains in the egg with distinct compositions in defined spatial relationships to one another: when the egg divides up, these domains segregate preferentially to certain regions of the embryo and influence their development. In this review we discuss the nature, formation and reorganization of distinguishable domains in various eggs.
