| Research Abstract |
To examine the degree of the relative contribution of genetic and environmental effects to preimplantation development of mouse embryo in vitro, two-cell stage embryos collected from oviducts of five strains of inbred mice(DDD/QDJ, C3H/ QDJ, C57BL/6J Sea,DBA/1J Sea, and BALB/C Sea) were cultivated up to the stage of expanded blasytocyst for seventy two hours. Both fertility and survival rates were calculated in each recipient and also in each strain. A Student-Newman-Keuls test for both rates showed a significant interstrain difference and an analysis of variance done to estimate the relative importance of genetic and environmental effects on the preimplantation development of embryo showed a low degree of genetic determination for both rates. It was thus possible to conclude that the environmental effect played a more important role on preimplantation development of mouse embryo in vitro.

plex of mice embryos were investigated with use of embryo transfer and cephalostat. DDD strain embryos were transferred to the three strains of recipients (DDD, C57BL and DBA). The cephalometric observation of newborn offspring developed from transferred embryos was performed just after parturition. Dorso-ventral craniofacial size of newborn offspring was calculated using values of X-and Y-coordinates on dorso-ventral cephalogram. Statistical analysis showed that a significant inter-group difference in craniofacial size between transferred and non-transferred groups as well as a significant inter-strain difference among those of the three strains of recipients were observed. Thus, it was disclosed that embryo transfer technique might retard the prenatal development of craniofacial complex of transferred embryo and that the three strains of recipients contributed unequally to the prenatal development of craniofacial complex of transferred embryo through each of their intra-uterine environment as a prenatal matemal effect. These results indicated that the intra-uterine environment of recipient played an important role in the prenatal development of craniofacial complex of mice embryo. Less
