Fig. 2. Schematic of the gynogenesis screen procedure. Eggs are harvested from the wild-caught female, as indicated by the unfertilized egg at the top of the figure, and undergo three different treatments (as denoted by the three outlined columns). In the first, the eggs are fertilized by harvested sperm and allowed to develop normally (left-hand column). In the second, haploid embryos are created by the fertilization of the eggs by UV-irradiated sperm (center column). In the third, after fertilization by UV-irradiated sperm, the eggs are treated with high pressure to induce the formation of gynogenetic diploid embryos (right-hand column). The haploid embryos have a distinct phenotype and can readily be distinguished from their wild-type and gynogenetic siblings. Image published in: Noramly S et al. (2005) Copyright © 2005.
