Wild-type nuclei from eggs ofDrosophila melanogasterat various developmental stages and from different regions of the egg—cleavage nuclei, pole nuclei from preblastoderm, and lateral nuclei from syncytial blastoderm—were singly implanted into unfertilizedy w sn3lz50eeggs to determine their developmental potencies.All three types of transplanted nuclei were almost equally effective in initiating development of unfertilized eggs. Development was arrested in one of five critieal embryonic stages or in one of the three larval instars. The frequency of individuals reaching a distinct stage was approximately the same for all three types of donor nuclei. The stage-specific pattern of defects was independent of the type of nucleus transplanted.The deviations from normal development were broadly similar to those seen in controls developing from fertilized eggs which had only been punctured or into which cytoplasm had been injected. Many defective embryos also occurred in these control experiments. These and other observations indicate that a large proportion of irregularly developed individuals found after nuclear transfer can be ascribed to loss of egg material, disturbances in the internal organization of the egg during nuclear implantation, and the difficulty the implanted nucleus has in adjusting to the autonomous processes within the egg, such as the formation and migration of cytoplasmic islands.Some of the defective embryos and larvae originating from nuclear transfer were implanted into adult hosts. After culture for 14 days the early embryonic stages had formed several larval structures, and the late embryonic and larval stages had developed all larval organs. The proliferated imaginal primordia of thesein vivocultured embryos and larvae, as well as the imaginal disks of the third instar larva, were then implanted into larval hosts with which they passed through metamorphosis and differentiated into imaginal structures. All three types of donor nuclei were capable of producing all adult structures derivedin situfrom imaginal disks. The phenotype of these structures waswild-type, thus demonstrating their origin from the transplanted nuclei.The problem as to why not all transplanted nuclei initiated development, and why development after nuclear transplantation was arrested at the third larval instar, at the latest, is discussed.
