Abstract

Spermiogenesis in the Zacco koreanus is characterized by lateral development of flagellum, shallow nuclear fossa formation and with no nuclear rotation. These spermatozoa exhibit a spherical head containing a nucleus with the chromatin highly condensed and no acrosome. The midpiece is a small and a short cytoplasmic canal. Mitochondria are separated from the initial segement of the axoneme by cytoplasmic canal. The flagellum contains the classic axoneme structure (9+2) and has a vesicle in the initial region; it dose not have axonemal fins. The presence of a vesicle in the initial region of flagella, a structure common in many Cypriniformes spermatozoa.

참갈겨니(Zacco koreanus) 정세포 변형과정과 성숙한 정자의 미세구조를 주사 및 투과 전자 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 참갈겨니 Z. koreanus 정세포변형과정은 수중형 Type II과 유사하나 기부중심립이 핵와안에 위치해 있는 점에서 일부 차이가 있었다. 또한 두 중심립은 섬유성 물질에 의하여 상호연결되어 있는데 이와 같은 구조는 잉어류에서 공통적으로 나타나고 있다. 편모에서 관찰되는 vesicle은 잉어류의 공통된 형질로 사료되며 Charciformes와 일부 Siluriformes에서도 관찰되고 있어 이들 분류군의 계통적 유연관계를 추정할 수 있는 구조적 특징으로 사료된다.
