The <i>Drosophila drop-dead</i> gene is required for eggshell integrity

2023-04-28

Abstract excerpt

The eggshell of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a useful model for understanding the synthesis of a complex extracellular matrix. The eggshell is synthesized during mid-to-late oogenesis by the somatic follicle cells that surround the developing oocyte. We previously reported that female flies mutant for the gene drop-dead ( drd ) are sterile, but the underlying cause of the sterility remained unknown....
