“…To this end, we injected one-or two-cell-stage embryos with vasa morpholino and raised fish until two weeks or one month of age. In these fish, the PGCs were identified based on morphological criteria (Braat et al, 1999). We detected PGCs in the vasa morpholino-injected fish at comparable numbers as observed in the noninjected controls (nϭ4, data not shown).…”

“…During embryogenesis, the zebrafish PGCs are marked by the expression of vasa RNA (Yoon et al, 1997;Olsen et al, 1997;Braat et al, 1999), which is initially of maternal origin. Zygotic expression of vasa mRNA starts around the dome stage (Braat et al, 1999;Knaut et al, 2000), and Vasa protein in distinct cells is first detected at gastrulation (Braat et al, 2000;Knaut et al, 2000). The fact that newly formed PGCs maintain expression of vasa mRNA at equal levels as their ancestors throughout embryonic and early larval development strongly suggests a continuous zygotic vasa transcription in the germline.…”

“…If the migration is mediated by different molecular mechanisms, PGCs could not move to the genital ridge in the host embryo. On the other hand, it was reported in zebrafish that the distribution of cytoplasmic components in PGCs varies during the migration period (Braat et al, 1999;Knout et al, 2000;Nagai et al, 2001). This suggests the possibility that the biochemical properties responsible for migration may change during development.…”
