+[[!pmid 12453460 desc="In the epithelial cells, “endoreduplication begins before tailshift and stops during gamete differentiation.” “Endocycles are asynchronous within a given field of oikoplastic cells, but the replication pattern is bilaterally symmetrical.” “In mature animals, final ploidy levels ranged from a low of 34 C in chain of pearl nuclei to 1300 C in giant Eisen nuclei.” Cells with higher ploidy had shorter gap phases."]]
([[Bassham and Postlethwait (2000)|biblio/10753519]]).
- Expression of development genes is retarded by polyunsaturated aldehydes produced
by diatoms ([[Torres-Águila and coll., 2018|biblio/30272001]]).
+ - Epithelial cells divide by mitosis during embryogenesis. Once the final number
+ of cells is produce, they grow by endomitosis, with final ploidy ranging between
+ ~30 to ~1300 C. Cells with higher ploidy have shorter gap phases. Endomitoses
+ stop when gamete differentiation starts. [[Ganot and Thompson, 2002|biblio/12453460]]
- Endocycling cells show no polytenisation nor _in loco_ amplifications. Deep invaginations
of the nuclear envelopper are shown by simultaneous staining of DNA, RNA and membranes
