Abstract excerpt
The Ketel(D) dominant female-sterile mutations and their ketel(r) revertant alleles identify the Ketel gene, which encodes the importin-beta (karyopherin-beta) homologue of Drosophila melanogaster. Embryogenesis does not commence in the Ketel(D) eggs deposited by the Ketel(D)/+ females due to failure of cleavage nuclei formation. When injected into wild-type cleavage embryos, cytoplasm of the Ketel(D) eggs does...
