Spermatogenesis in the marine snail Adelomelon ancilla (Volutidae) from Patagonia

This study describes euspermatogenesis and paraspermatogenesis in Adelomelon ancilla (Volutidae) and compares them with the same processes in other caenogastropods. Spermatogenesis in A. ancilla followed the general developmental pattern of caenogastropods. The pattern of nuclear condensation involv...

Spermatogenesis in A. ancilla followed the general developmental pattern of caenogastropods. The pattern of nuclear condensation involves granular, fibrillar, lamellar and homogenous electron-dense phases.

The proacrosomal vesicle develops into a preattachment acrosome which, together with the Golgi body, later moves towards the apex of the nucleus.

Later features, including the peripheral condensation of nuclear chromatin followed by nuclear invagination, the posterior breakdown into nuclear vesicles ('caryomerites'), centriole multiplication and the synthesis of secretory products, are the most conspicuous changes in the process of paraspermatogenesis. © 2011 The Author.
