Abstract: Demonstrates the importance of gurken in the oocyte and torpedo/DER in the follicle cells for the induction of the posterior fate. Establishment of dorsoventral polarity by th gurken-torpedo/DER pathway later in oogenesis; Drosophila use of the gurken-torpedo/DER pathway to determine embryonic axes; Proposed model for anterior-posterior axis formation.
