Abstract excerpt
The ovo and ovarian tumor genes are required during early and late stages of Drosophila oogenesis. The ovo product, a zinc-finger transcription factor, can bind to sites and influence the level of expression of the ovarian tumor promoter. Our examination of ovo null mutant organelles demonstrate that it is required for the differentiation of XX germ cells during larval gonial stages, in addition to its known role...
