Abstract
Perry R. N., Wharton D. A. and Clarke A. J. 1982. The structure of the egg-shell of Globodera rostochiensis (Nematoda: Tyienchida). International Journal for Parasitology 12: 481–485. The ultrastructure and histochemistry of the egg-shell of Globodera rostochiensis are described. The eggshell consists of an outer vitelline layer, a chitinous layer and an inner lipid layer. The vitelline layer is not unit membrane-like and has strands of particulate material attached to its outer surface. The chitinous layer is made up of fibres consisting of a chitin microfibril core, surrounded by a protein coat. The lipid layer contains lipoprotein membranes. These vary in number, the most commonly observed pattern being two or three membranes loosely associated with the inner surface of the egg-shell.
