Analysis of the HSP70:GAL4 effect in the ovary is likely to provide new insights into the normal function of ovarian follicle cells. We have designed a genetic screen to identify novel mutants that rescue the defect in egg development after HSP70:GAL4 expression.

(74) Early studies showed that oocyte growth and development are strictly dependent on the supply of nutrients from the follicle cells. Later studies demonstrated that the meiotic maturation of oocytes is subject to regulation by the somatic compartment of the ovarian follicle.
