Identification and analysis of mutations in bob, Doa and eight new genes required for oocyte specification and development in Drosophila melanogaster.

Morris, Jason Z, Navarro, Caryn, Lehmann, Ruth

The Drosophila oocyte develops from a cluster of 16 interconnected cells that derive from a common progenitor. One of these cells, the oocyte, arrests in meiosis. The other cells endoreplicate their...

Mutations in the Drosophila Mitochondrial tRNA Amidotransferase, bene/gatA, Cause Growth Defects in Mitotic and Endoreplicating Tissues

Morris, Jason Z., Bergman, Leah, Kruyer, Anna, Gertsberg, Mikhail, Guigova, Adriana, Arias, Ronald, ...

Rapid larval growth is essential in the development of most metazoans. In this article, we show that bene, a gene previously identified on the basis of its oogenesis defects, is also required for...
