Abstract excerpt
In the Drosophila female the product of the germline stem cell, the cystoblast, gives rise to 16 interconnected cystocytes. One of them differentiates into the oocyte, while the 15 others become polyploid nurse cells. Bic-D is required for the differentiation of an oocyte and hence for fertility....
