- Abstract
- The activation of the zygotic genome and onset of transcription in blastula embryos is linked to changes in cell behavior and remodeling of the cell cycle and constitutes a transition from exclusive maternal to zygotic control of development. This step in development is referred to as mid-blastula transition and has served as a paradigm for the link between developmental program and cell behavior and morphology. Here, we discuss the mechanism and functional relationships between the zygotic genome activation and cell cycle control during mid-blastula transition with a focus on Drosophila embryos.
