We have extracted retinoids from the budding tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis and, using HPLC, identified some major peaks as cis-retinal, all-trans-retinal and all-trans-retinoic acid, of which cis-retinal was most abundant (~2 micromolar). In developing buds, the amount of cis-retinal was about one-fifth that of the adult animals. In those buds, aldehyde dehydrogenase, which could metabolize retinal in vitro, was expressed in epithelial cells and then in mesenchymal cells at the proximal extremity, that is, the future developmental field of the bud. Exogenous retinoic acid comparable to the endogenous level could induce an additional field at the distal end of the bud, resulting in a double monster. The induction always accompanied an ectopic expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase. The results of this work suggest that retinoic acid or related molecule(s) act as an endogenous trigger of morphallactic development of Polyandrocarpa buds.

The aim of this article is not only to provide an overview of the state of recent discussion about the concept of social capital, it is also an attempt at critical reflection on theoretical and empirical research efforts. The question is whether the concept of social capital is a fashionable (and short-lived) term proposed as a cure-all for the maladies affecting contemporary communities, organizations and societies as a whole or whether it has more long-term strategic - theoretical as well as applicable - meaning for sociology and other social-science disciplines. Despite the deficiencies of the recent research findings, we argue that the latter is true. The concept represents a very important conceptual innovation which can facilitate the theoretical integration within sociology and the inter- and trans-disciplinary collaboration of sociology and other disciplines, especially economics. The article emphasizes the problems of reception, definition and operationalization, and the developmental role of social capital.
