Meiotic progression, and the number of oocytes surviving to birth, determine the ovarian reserve, yet the control of prenatal oogenesis is poorly understood. We investigated the effects of genetic background and p53 upon oogenesis in mice.Fetal and neonatal ovaries were analysed in B6CBf1 and B6CBf2 mice from 15.5 to 21 days post-coitum (dpc) and p53 (a tumour suppressor gene) knockout, heterozygous and wild-type mice from 15.5 to 16 dpc. Oocytes in meiotic prophase I (MPI) were identified by labelling synaptonemal complex protein 3, and the specific stage of MPI was classified by the appearance of axial elements. Apoptosis and DNA breaks were assessed by cleaved poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL), respectively.The leptotene, zygotene and pachytene stages were earlier in f1 than f2 generations with significant differences at all stages (P
