Abstract excerpt
Differentiation of the anterior and posterior poles of the Drosophila embryo requires seven maternally expressed genes including torso-like (tsl) and torso (tor). The tor gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed throughout the embryo but is activated specifically at the poles. Genetic mosaic analysis has shown that tsl is required during oogenesis in follicle cells at each end of the oocyte. We...
