Ultrastructural changes of the germinal vesicle during the growth of rabbit oocytes were studied by means of light and electron microscopy, 3H-uridine autoradiography, Ag-NOR staining and E-PTA staining. Particular interest was paid to the nucleologenesis and condensation of chromatin. In contrast to other mammalian species, chromosome condensation in rabbit oocytes occurred concomitantly with rRNA synthesis-dependent nucleolar compaction and preceded nuclear envelope breakdown and resumption of meiosis.
