Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a highly conserved process that occurs during development and in response to adverse conditions. In Drosophila, most PCDs require the genes within the H99 deficiency, the adaptor molecule Ark, and caspases. Here we investigate 10 cell death genes for their potential roles in two distinct types of PCD that occur in oogenesis: developmental nurse cell PCD and starvation-induced PCD....
