There were some concerns that the embryos in their 2004 research were parthenogenetic in origin.
There are no significant differences in parthenogenetic capacity of females between the parental species and inter-specific hybrids.
In both cases the arrest could be overcome by treatment with the parthenogenetic activators ethanol and cycloheximide.
Under the experimental conditions employed, there was parthenogenetic activation and activation due to fertilisation.
Therefore, the possibility that the cleaved embryos were due to parthenogenetic development appears to be remote.
Oocytes surviving the injection were either cultured without further treatment or exposed to ethanol solution to induce parthenogenetic activation.
This suggests that parthenogenetic developmental ability, so-called cytoplasmic maturation, was not affected by the prolonged culture or oocyte aging.
However, the effects of these drugs on the parthenogenetic indexes of mouse oocytes have not been well studied.
However, neither e strontium and ethanol individually, nor the association of both were efficient to produce parthenogenetic blastocysts.
