Induction of metamorphosis with potassium ions requires development of competence and an anterior signalling centre in the ascidian Herdmania momus
{{output}}
Increased K+ concentration in seawater induces metamorphosis in the ascidian Herdmania momus. Larvae cultivated at 24°C exhibit highest rates of metamorphosis when treated with 40 mM KCl-elevated seawater at 21°C. At 24°C, H. momus larvae develop competence... ...
