Abstract excerpt
drop out (dop) is a recessive maternal-effect locus identified in a screen for female-sterile mutations in Drosophila polytene region 71C-F. Phenotypic analyses of the dop mutation indicate that the gene is required for proper formation of the cellular blastoderm. In embryos derived from either homozygous or hemizygous dop mothers, cytoplasmic clearing, nuclear migration and division, and pole cell formation...
