Abstract:
:The extracellular matrices (ECMs) surrounding the benthic embryos and larvae of the seastar Patiriella exigua and the planktonic embryos of Patiriella regularis were examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Three ECMs surround unhatched embryos: An outer jelly coat, a fertilization envelope, and an inner hyaline layer. The ECMs of P. exigua are modified for supporting benthic development. The dense jelly coat attaches the embryo to the substratum, and the fertilization envelope forms a though protective case. In comparison, P. regularis has a less dense jelly coat and a thinner fertilization envelope. The hyaline layer of both species is comprised of three main regions: An intervillous layer overlying the epithelium, a supporting layer, and a coarse meshwork layer. Unhatched P. exigua have an additional outer amorphous layer that adheres to the fertilization envelope. As a result, the hyaline layer forms a continuous ECM that unites the embryonic surface with the fertilization envelope. Embryos of P. exigua removed from their fertilization envelopes lack the outer amorphous region, have a poorly developed hyaline layer, and do not develop beyond gastrulation. It appears that the substantial hyaline layer of P. exigua and its attachment to the fertilization envelope are essential for early development and that this ECM may function as a gelatinous cushioning layer around the benthic embryos. At hatching, the amorphous layer is discarded with the envelope. In contrast, an amorphous layer is absent from the hyaline layer of P. regularis. The demembranated embryos of this species have an ECM similar to that of controls and develop normally to the larval stage. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
