Developmental and structural analysis of similarities among calcified and keratinized tooth structures in mouth of vertebrates
 Karpecká, Zuzana ; Černý, Robert (advisor) ; Hovořáková, Mária (referee)
Calcified teeth comprise the hardest vertebrate tissues (enamel and dentine) and they undoubtedly represent a key evolutionary advantage for their users. Nevertheless, teeth have been lost many times and they were often replaced by keratinised structures, such as rhamphoteca of birds or of turtle beaks, or labial tooth structures and scratching laminae of many aquatic vertebrates. This thesis is intended to analyse levels of similarities among keratinised teeth and structures of three phylogenetically distinct lineages of amniotes and to compare them to morphogenesis of true teeth. Detailed developmental and structural characteristics of oral apparatus possessing keratinous teeth of lampreys, Loricarid cathfishes and frog tadpoles were identified and distinguished. Keratinous structures of cathfishes include only horny projections from single cell surface (unculi), whereas in frog tadpoles both horny jaw sheet and unicellular labial teeth composed by cell columns were found; the lamprey oral apparatus consists of multicellular teeth and laminae instead. Disparate phenotypes of these keratinous structures can, however, developmentally derive from a general process of keratinization: morphological disparities arise by distinct gradual accretion of keratinous layers and collumns during development.
