Abstract excerpt

Sperm storage in the female is a key factor for reproductive success in a variety of organisms, including Drosophila melanogaster. The spermathecae (SP) are the Drosophila organs for long-term storage. While wild-type female flies have two SP, occasionally, three or four SP have been observed in mutant flies. However, the molecular mechanism of SP formation is unknown. Here we show that loss of function of a...
