Due to limited spawning seasons, embryogenesis of corals has not fully been studied and the embryonic origin of gastrodermis remains uncertain in . We herein examined how embryonic endodermal cells develop into the gastrodermis and mesentery of polyps in . In juvenile polyps, the gastrodermis invagi...
