The Drosophila AP axis is polarised by the cadherin-mediated positioning of the oocyte.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 1998

González-Reyes A, St Johnston D

Abstract excerpt

The anterior-posterior axis of Drosophila originates from two symmetry-breaking steps during early oogenesis. First, one of the two pro-oocytes within the cyst of 16 germline cells is selected to become the oocyte. This cell then comes to lie posterior to the other germline cells of the cyst, the...
