| Organism | : | Ascidian |
|---|---|---|
| Species | : | Phallusia mammillata |
| Description | : | On the egg at left a tuft of microfilament-rich microvilli caps the vegetal/contraction pole. On the right the vegetal cortical accumulation of ER sheets (red; labelled with DiOC6(3)) lies in a dense plaque of microfilaments (green; labelled with Rhodamine Phalloidin) at the vegetal/contraction pole.
