- germarium-derived female germ-line cyst formation
Formation, in a germarium, of a group of interconnected cells derived from a single female gonial founder cell (a cystoblast). The germarium is the most anterior portion of an insect ovariole. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
- P granule assembly
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a P granule.
- germline ring canal
Germline specific intercellular bridge. During cyst formation in insects, ring canals interconnect the cells of the cyst, facilitating the passage of cytoplasmic components between cells.
