What is Muscular Development in Urechis unicinctus (Echiura, Annelida) about?
Echiura is one of the most intriguing major subgroups of phylum Annelida because, unlike most other annelids, echiuran adults lack metameric body segmentation. __Urechis unicinctus__ lives in U-shape burrows of soft sediments. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of __U. unicinctus__. Herein, we overviewed the developmental process from zygote to juvenile __U. unicinctus__ using immunohistochemistry and F-actin staining for the nervous and muscular systems, respectively. Through F-actin staining, we found that muscle fibers began to form in the trochophore phase and that muscles for feeding were produced first. Subsequently, in the segmentation larval stage, the transversal muscle was formed in the shape of a ring in an anterior-to-posterior direction with segment formation, as well as a ventromedian muscle for the formation of a ventral nerve cord. After that, many muscle fibers were produced along the entire body and formed the worm-shaped larva. Finally, we investigated the spatiotemporal expression of __Uun\_st-mhc__, __Uun\_troponin I__, __Uun\_calponin__, and __Uun\_twist__ genes found in __U. unicinctus__. During embryonic development, th
