Books Description

Plant Embryology: Classical and Experimental has been written in simple language with up to date information supported with hand sketch diagrams and schematic representation of the events, classifications and tables wherever required. Part A, Classical Embryology, deals exclusively with the basics of plants such as structures of reproductive parts , their growth and development starting from Microsporogenesis, Megasporogenesis, Pollination, Fertilization till Embryo and Seed formation; it also includes discussion of Comparative Embryology. Part B, Experimental Embryology, on the other hand covers the cultures of Anther, Pollens, Ovary, Ovule, Embryo etc. which enables one to understand the mechanism of growth and development. This book will meet the requirements of both undergraduate and postgraduate students and benefit those preparing for various competitive examinations such as NET, SLET, IFS and Civil Services etc. with Botany as one of the optional papers.

Book Description

Mammalian spermatozoa have complex structures. The structure-function relationship of sperm has been studied from various viewpoints. Accumulated evidence has shown that the sperm components undergo sequential changes from the beginning of spermatogenesis to the time of fertilization/embryogenesis. Structural analyses have been performed using various new techniques of light and electron microscopy as well as immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry in combination with specific probes such as antibodies against sperm components. Recently developed gene-manipulation techniques have accelerated investigations on the events that govern the relationship between the structure and molecular components of sperm. In addition, animal models with gene manipulations have been shown to exhibit various morphological and functional abnormalities that lead to infertility.

In humans, male infertility is caused by a number of factors such as the external environment, nutrient changes, genotoxins, and mutagens. These factors affect not only the development of germ cells during spermatogenesis but also the functions of mature sperm, ultimately impairing fertilization or embryogenesis. Typical phenotypes of impaired fertilization or embryogenesis are visible in conditions such as azoospermia, oligozoospermia, and teratozoospermia, which have been induced in model animals with gene deficiencies. Thus, comparative analyses of the phenotypes expressed by model animals carrying gene mutations and infertile human patients should be performed in relation to the normal (natural) fertilization process to clarify the etiology of infertility due to male factors.

In this book, I discuss the events that occur in the normal sperm head and govern the structure-function relationship from the time of spermatogenesis to that of fertilization or egg activation. In this regard, I describe dynamic modifications and maturation events occurring in sperm-head components and compare the outcomes of these events with the outcomes of their failure.
