Abstract excerpt
OVO is required for female germ cell viability but has no known function in the male germline in Drosophila. ovo is autoregulated by 2 antagonistic isoforms, OVO-A and OVO-B. All ovo- alleles were created as partial revertants of the antimorphic ovoD1 allele. Creation of new targeted alleles in an ovo+ background indicated that disrupting the germline-specific exon extension of ovo-B leads to an arrested egg...
