Development
-----------
+### Gametes
+
- The oocytes originate from a specialised syncitium, the coenocyst, in which
nurse cells and oocytes are connected by cytoplasmic bridges, the ring channels
([[Ganot and coll., 2007|biblio/17126826]]).
- Inhibition of the MAPK pathway cause some nurse cell nuclei to enter the
oocyte through the ring channels ([[Ganot, Moosmann-Schulmeister and Thompson,
2008|biblio/18845138]]).
+ - Egg diameter in females from (probably) Villefranche-sur-mer: 97 to 107 µm
+ ([[Fenaux, 1976|biblio/1571417125678584576]]).
+ - Increased food abundance increases egg number but does not change diameter nor
+ generation time ([[Troedsson and coll., 2002|biblio/10.3354_meps243083]]).
+ Food reduction before day 4 causes growth arrest (GA), in which all cell cycles
+ eventually pause. Animals in GA can survive ~18 days at 15°C. GA can also be
+ induced by inhibiting the TOR pathway ([[Subramaniam, Campsteijn and Thompson,
+ 2014|biblio/24695788]]).
+ - Meiosis is resumed by change of extracellular pH when the oocytes are released
+ in seawater. Partenogenesis starts if PP2A is inhibited by DNAi or with
+ okadaic acid ([[Matsuo and coll., 2020|biblio/31857067]).
+ - Colchicine treatment induced early differenciation of the oocytes
+ ([[Ganot, Kallesøe, Thompson (2007)|biblio/17123503]]).
+
+### Fertilization and early stages
+
- The sperm's mitochondrion enters the oocyte together with the nucleus
([[Holland, Gorsky and Fenaux, 1988|biblio/10.1007_BF00312223]]).
- The first and second polar bodies are visible 5 and 15 min after fertilisation,
respectively ([[Nishino and Morisawa, 1998|biblio/10.2108_zsj.15.723]]).
- - Meiosis is resumed by change of extracellular pH when the oocytes are released
- in seawater. Partenogenesis starts if PP2A is inhibited by DNAi or with
- okadaic acid ([[Matsuo and coll., 2020|biblio/31857067]).
- First embryonic cleavages are deterministic and “Clonal organization of the
tissues is essentially invariant among individuals” ([[Stach and coll.,
2008|biblio/18490654]]).
- - Colchicine treatment induced early differenciation of the oocytes
- ([[Ganot, Kallesøe, Thompson (2007)|biblio/17123503]]).
+ - Fertilization in high sperm concentration leads to polyspermia
+ ([[Fenaux, 1976|biblio/1571417125678584576]]).

- Generation times shortens when temperature rises. First spawnings are seen
on day 6 at 14.2 °C, and on day 8 at 17.2 °C ([[Bouquet and coll.,
2018|biblio/29298334]]). Reported generation times in the litterature: 149 ± 2
1995|biblio/10.1016_0022-0981_95_00004-B]]). Tôkyô bay _O. dioica_ under
laboratory condiditons: 6 days at 15°C, 4 days at 20°C and 3 days at 25°C
([[Sato, Tanaka and Ishimaru, 2001|biblio/10.1093_plankt_23.4.415]]).
- - Increased food abundance increases egg number but does not change diameter nor
- generation time ([[Troedsson and coll., 2002|biblio/10.3354_meps243083]]).
- Food reduction before day 4 causes growth arrest (GA), in which all cell cycles
- eventually pause. Animals in GA can survive ~18 days at 15°C. GA can also be
- induced by inhibiting the TOR pathway ([[Subramaniam, Campsteijn and Thompson,
- 2014|biblio/24695788]]).
- Large animals (~5 mm body length) could be cultivated when provided with large
amounts of food ([[Li and Zhang, 2021|biblio/10.1007_s00343-020-0071-0]]).
- Telomeres are localised at the nuclear envelope and do not overlap with nuclear

+ (under the name _Nanochloris occulata_) (2 to 3 µm according to Wikipedia).

- Flagellates [_Isochrysis galbana_][] (4 µm width) and _Monochrysis lutheri_ (4 µm
width), and the diatom _Cyclotella nana_ (Thalassiosira pseudonana) which had
a width of 5 µm ([[G.-A. Paffenhöfer, 1973|biblio/10.1007_BF00391782]]).
