blastoderm stage

ID: FBdv_00005304

Stage during which most of the nuclei are arranged as a monolayer at the cortex (periphery) of the embryo (Foe and Alberts, 1983; Jaeger et al., 2012). It begins shortly after completion of the ninth cleavage division and lasts until the onset of gastrulation, including cleavage cycles 10-14A (Foe and Alberts, 1983; Jaeger et al., 2012). This corresponds to embryonic stages 4 (syncitial blastoderm stage) and 5 (cellular blastoderm stage) (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997). (Jaeger et al., 2012, Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997, Foe and Alberts, 1983)
