Species of frogs that develop directly have removed the tadpole from their ontogeny and form adult structures precociously. To see whether cell cycle regulators could be involved in this altered embryogenesis, we examined the expression of ccnd1, ccnd2, and mycn in embryos of the direct developing frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui. Notable differences compared to embryos of Xenopus laevis, a species with a tadpole, included prominent expression of ccnd2 in the midbrain and ccnd1 in the mandibular ne ...[more]
