Laser ablation studies of the role of the Drosophila oocyte nucleus in pattern formation.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 11 Oct 1991

Montell D J, Keshishian H, Spradling A C

Abstract excerpt

Somatic and germline cells interact during oogenesis to establish the pattern axes of the Drosophila eggshell and embryo. The role of the oocyte nucleus in pattern formation was tested with the use of laser ablation. Ablation in stage 6 to 9 egg chambers caused partial or complete ventralization of the eggshell, phenotypes similar to those of eggs produced by gurken or torpedo females. Accumulation of vasa...
