Figure 1

Ctenophore development and cell lineage. Ctenophore body plan, with (A) lateral view, aboral pole up and (B) aboral view. The comb plates are shown in yellow to indicate the contribution from e1 micromeres (yellow) and m1 micromeres (pink). The photocytes, are a derivative of the 2 M cells and associated with the endodermal canals underlying the comb rows[4, 16]. (C) Simplified cell lineage fate map showing the e1, m1, 1E/ and 1 M/ micromere sublineages. For each of the different early cleavage stages there are diagrams showing the embryo from the aboral pole. Modified after[1, 4, 14].
