Article: Maternal effect and embryonic gene expression for lactate dehydrogenase B (LDH-B), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and peptidase (PEP-1) during the development of Pleurodeles waltl (urodele amphibian)

The polymorphism of three enzymes [lactate dehydrogenase B (LDH-B), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, (G6PDH), and peptidase-1 (PEP-1)] in Pleurodeles waltl has allowed the expression of the corresponding loci to be followed during the development of spawnings arising from various crosses. A maternal effect lasting up to the late tail-bud stage (approx. stage 28) was shown for PEP-1. A similar situation was observed for LDH-B and G6PDH. The embryonic alleles present retarded expression: from about stage 28 for PEP-1 and G6PDH and from about stages 22 to 24 (the young tail-bud stage) for LDH-B.
