Dissection and Staining of Drosophila Pupal Ovaries.
Unlike adult Drosophila ovaries, pupal ovaries are relatively difficult to access and examine due to their small size, translucence, and encasing within a pupal case. The challenge of dissecting pupal ovaries also lies in their physical location within the pupa: the ovaries are surrounded by fat body cells inside the pupal abdomen, and these fat cells must be removed to allow for proper antibod...
متن کاملCytological analysis of spermatogenesis: live and fixed preparations of Drosophila testes.
Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful model system that has been widely used to elucidate a variety of biological processes. For example, studies of both the female and male germ lines of Drosophila have contributed greatly to the current understanding of meiosis as well as stem cell biology. Excellent protocols are available in the literature for the isolation and imaging of Drosophila ovaries...
متن کاملDissection and staining of Drosophila larval ovaries.
Many organs depend on stem cells for their development during embryogenesis and for maintenance or repair during adult life. Understanding how stem cells form, and how they interact with their environment is therefore crucial for understanding development, homeostasis and disease. The ovary of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has served as an influential model for the interaction of germ l...
متن کاملDamage to the Drosophila follicle cell epithelium produces “false clones” with apparent polarity phenotypes
The Drosophila follicular epithelium, which surrounds developing egg chambers, is a well-established model for studying epithelial polarity because it is continuously generated from adult stem cells, making it easy to generate homozygous mutant clones in a heterozygous background. Mutant clones are usually marked by the loss of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) expression, which distinguishes the...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a Xenopus cDNA which encodes a homeodomain highly homologous to Drosophila Distal-less.
A novel homeobox gene of Xenopus was isolated from the ovary cDNA library. The homeodomain of the encoded protein was homologous to that of Drosophila Distal-less (Dll), and the gene was termed Xdll. The mRNA exists in a large amount in ovary, and in a small amount in testis, but was not detected in muscle, kidney, gut, and liver. The mRNA also occurs in a large amount in oocytes and is maintai...
