Gamete release in Ciona robusta: roles of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and the photoreception system

Tomohiro Osugi, Shin Matsubara, Akira Shiraishi…·Honoo Satake

This study identifies distinct roles of GnRH1 and GnRH2 in gamete release and ovarian function in Ciona robusta, revealing the OPO as a photoreceptive organ involved in reproductive regulation.
