Non-coding RNAs as regulators of embryogenesis (2011, background): “Clearance of maternal mRNAs The earliest known role of embryonic miRNAs is during the maternal–zygotic transition (MZT), when zygotic transcription starts and maternal mRNAs are degraded (reviewed in Ref”
Zelda Binding in the Early Drosophila melanogaster Embryo Marks Regions Subsequently Activated at the Maternal-to-Zygotic Transition (2011, background): “controlled by maternally contributed mRNAs and proteins [1,2].”
Establishment of regions of genomic activity during the Drosophila maternal to zygotic transition (2014, background): “In most animals, the first phase of embryonic development depends solely on maternally deposited proteins and RNAs and is often accompanied by very low or undetectable transcription (Newport and Kirschner, 1982a, b; Tadros and Lipshitz, 2009).”
Codon identity regulates mRNA stability and translation efficiency during the maternal‐to‐zygotic transition (2016, positive): “In early embryonic development, maternally deposited mRNAs and proteins govern the embryonic development of most animals until the zygotic genome is activated (Tadros & Lipshitz, 2009; Yartseva & Giraldez, 2015).”
