Sulfation of fucoidan in Fucus embryos and its possible role in localization

Creator:

Abstract:

Under defined cultural conditions, zygotes of the brown alga Fucus distichus L. Powell divide synchronously to form two-celled embryos at approximately 24 hours after fertilization. These two cells differ from one another in gross morphology, ultrastructure, cytochemistry, and developmental fate. Cytochemical staining and autoradiography indicated that a sulfated polysaccharide was...
