Book Description
This book will give an overview of insect ovaries, showing the diversities and the common traits in egg growth processes. The idea to write this book developed while looking at the flood of information which appeared in the early 1980s on early pattern formation in Drosophila embryos. At this time a significant breakthrough was made in studies of this little fly, combining molecular biological methods with classical and molecular genetics. The answers to questions about early pattern formation raised new questions about the architecture of ovaries and the growth of eggs within these ovaries. However, by concentrating only on Drosophila it is not possible to form an adequate picture of what is going on in insect ovaries, since the enormous diversity found among insects is not considered sufficiently. Almost forgotten, but the first to study the architecture of ovaries, was Alexander Brandt writing in 1878 in aber das Ei und seine Bildungsstaette (On the egg and its organ of development). More than 100 years later, a series of ten books or more would be required to survey all the serious informa tion we have today on insect oogenesis. Thus, this book is a personal selection and personal view on the theme, and the authors must be excused by all those scientists whose papers could not be included. The book briefly describes the ectodemes, i. e.

Book Description
The genetic development of eggs in fruit fly (Drosophilia) is the most important model used by developmental biologists in understanding how we go from a fertilized egg to a fully developed organism. Insights into fruit fly genetics have also begun to provide an idea as to how humans develop. This text amasses and organizes information on nearly 400 genes affecting the origin and development of ova. It should aid understanding of the crucial processes in organisms development.

Book Description
Undoubtedly, Drosophila melanogaster, fruit fly, has proved to be one of the most popular invertebrate model organisms, and the work horse for modern day biologists. Drosophila, a highly versatile model with a genetic legacy of more than a century, provides powerful genetic, cellular, biochemical and molecular biology tools to address many questions extending from basic biology to human diseases. One of the most important questions in biology focuses on how does a multi-cellular organism develop from a single-celled embryo. The discovery of the genes responsible for pattern formation has helped refine this question, and led to other questions, such as the role of various genetics and cell biological pathways in regulating the crucial process of pattern formation and growth during organogenesis. Drosophila eye model has been extensively used to study molecular genetic mechanisms involved in patterning and growth. Since the genetic machinery involved in the Drosophila eye is similar to humans, it has been used to model human diseases and homology to eyes in other taxa. This book will discuss molecular genetic mechanisms of pattern formation, mutations in axial patterning, Genetic regulation of growth in Drosophila eye, and more. There have been no titles in the past ten years covering this topic, thus an update is urgently needed.​

Book Description
An update of the current understanding of areas in cell and developmental biology from which to launch experiments furthering a detailed molecular understanding of the cell. The 22 reports discuss such aspects as the genetics of transcriptional regulation in yeast and its connections to the RNA polymerase III CTD, microtubule polymerization dynamics, the genetic analysis of the actin cytoskeleton in the Drosophila ovary, adipocyte differentiation and leptin expression, the initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells, bacterial cell division, and the design plan of kinesin motors. Includes a subject index for the volume, and subject and author indexes for volumes 9-13. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
