Genetic dissection of sperm individualization in Drosophila melanogaster.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 May 1998

Fabrizio J J, Hime G, Lemmon S K, Bazinet C

Abstract excerpt

The morphogenesis of spermatids generally takes place within a syncytium, in which all spermatid nuclei descended from a primary spermatocyte remain connected via an extensive network of cytoplasmic bridges. A late step in sperm maturation therefore requires the physical resolution of the syncytium, or cyst, into individual cells, a process sometimes referred to as sperm individualization. Despite the...
