STIMULATION AND NUCLEAR BREAKDOWN IN THE NEREIS EGG

L. V. HEILBRUNN 1 and KARL M. WILBUR 1

1 From the Zoölogical Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania

When the Nereis egg is stimulated either physically by ultra-violet radiation, or chemically by immersion in sodium or potassium chloride solutions, the germinal vesicle breaks down. This response to stimulation is prevented if the eggs are previously immersed in sodium citrate solutions. The results are in agreement with the calcium release theory of stimulation.
