Abstract excerpt
During Drosophila oogenesis two distinct stem cell populations produce either germline cysts or the somatic cells that surround each cyst and separate each formed follicle. From analyzing daughterless (da) loss-of-function, overexpression and genetic interaction phenotypes, we have identified several specific requirements for da(+) in somatic cells during follicle formation. First, da is a critical regulator of...
