Maternally transcribed genes

Dorsal Group Genes


  • Genes acting early in the egg to establish dorsal-ventral polarity
  • Genes acting early in follicle cells receiving the Gurken signal through EGF-R
  • Genes acting later in follicle cells
  • Germ line derived extracellular components acting after fertilization
  • Germ line genes acting after fertilization
