Abstract excerpt
Abstract. During the final step of Drosophila vitelline membrane formation, the structural proteins composing this layer become cross-linked by covalent bonds. In the present report, we analyzed the vitelline membrane cross-linking in mutants having defects either in this layer or in the chorionic layers. In the fs(1)Nasrat and fs(1)polehole mutant alleles conferring defects in vitelline membrane formation,...
