Structural and functional dynamics of oogenesis in Glossina austeni: vitellogenesis with special reference to the follicular epithelium

Structural and functional dynamics of oogenesis in Glossina austeni: vitellogenesis with special reference to the follicular epithelium

E Huebner et al. Tissue Cell. 1975.

Abstract

Morphological changes of the oocyte, follicle cells and nurse cells of the ovaries of the viviparous fly Glossina austeni during vitellogenesis and postvitellogenesis are outlined. During vitellogenesis, material is pinocytosed and incorporated into yolk spheres by subsequent fusions. Various lines of evidence are presented that indicate much of this material is derived from the follicular epithelium. The ultrastructure of the follicular cells throughout the 9 day cycle and their role in protein synthesis is presented. Subsequent to vitellogenesis, the follicle cells synthesize the secondary envelopes.
