title: Differential susceptibility of early steps in carp (Cyrinus carpio) development to α-amanitin.
abstract: Carp embryos were dechorionated and their early development was studied in the presence or absence of a-amanitin. Cleavage and the formation of the enveloping layer and yolk syncytial layer were not influenced by the drug. However, a-amanitin largely blocked epiboly which started 6 h after fertilization in controls. Involution of deep cells, taking place during gastrulation movements, appeared to be blocked to a lesser degree. This might reflect differences in the degree to which maternal transcripts influence these developmental steps.
