Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A genital bud was observed in the aboral hemal system of Asterias rubens. Its structure is very similar to the parietal structure of a gonad. Three cell types are recognized, two of them (primordial germinal cells and ciliated somatic cells) border the periphery of the genital bud, the third type (pseudopodial cells) is found in the lumen. They form a cylindric structure surrounded by a thick and continuous basal lamina. The genital bud has a cyclical appearance and development within the aboral hemal system. Its major development coincides with the regression of the gonads that occurs after the natural spawning of gametes. The possible involvement of the genital bud in the initiation of the following year's gametogenesis is considered. The complete regression of the gonad after spawning suggests an annual neoformation of the gonad preceding the initiation of the gametogenetic cycle. |
