Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila, polar plasm contains polar granules, which deposit the factors required for the formation of pole cells, germ line progenitors. Polar granules are tightly associated with mitochondria in early embryos, suggesting that mitochondria could contribute to pole cell formation. We have previously reported that mitochondrial large and small rRNAs (mtrRNAs) are transported from mitochondria to polar...
