Pole cell information


In early Drosophila development, the embryo passes through thirteen nuclear divisions (karyokinesis) without cytokinesis, resulting in a multinucleate cell (generally referred to as a syncytium, but strictly a coenocyte[1]). Pole cells are the cells that form at the polar ends of the Drosophila egg, which begin the adult germ cells.[2] Pole plasm functions to bud the pole cells, as well as restore fertilization, even when the cell was previously sterile.[3]
