| Abstract | Chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes) represent one of the two lineages of gnathostomes, the other being the osteicthyans (bony fishes). Classical studies on chondrichthyan embryology have strongly impacted our views of vertebrate body plan evolution, while recent studies highlight oviparous chondrichthyans as emerging vertebrate model systems that are amenable to experimental embryological manipulation. Here, we review three particular areas of interest in the field of chondrichthyan developmental biology-gastrulation, neural development, and appendage patterning-and we discuss recent findings within a broader chondrichthyan-osteichthyan comparative framework. In some cases, comparative studies of chondrichthyan and osteichthyan development reveal conserved patterns of gene expression in common developmental contexts. Studies of chondrichthyan gastrulation reveal conserved patterns of developmental gene expression, despite highly divergent modes of mesendoderm internalization, while molecular characterization of chondrichthyan neurogenic placodes indicates a conservation of placode transcription factor expression across gnathostome phylogeny. In other cases, comparative studies of chondrichthyan and osteichthyan development yield evidence of shared patterning mechanisms functioning in different developmental contexts. This is exemplified by studies on the development of chondrichthyan appendages-paired fins, median fins, and gill rays. These have demonstrated that a retinoic acid-responsive Shh-expressing signaling center functions to pattern the endoskeleton of gnathostome paired fins and chondrichthyan gill rays, while expression patterns of Tbx18 and HoxD family members are shared by gnathostome paired fins and chondrichthyan median fins. These findings fuel novel hypotheses of developmental genetic homology, and demonstrate how comparative studies of gnathostome development can provide insight into the evolutionary processes that underlie morphological diversity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
