Formation of the amnioserosa, an epithelium that occupies a hole in the embryonic dorsal epidermis. This occurs by the transformation of a narrow strip of cells at the dorsal midline of the blastoderm from columnar to squamous cells, accompanied by a lateral shift.

The process during which segments assume individual identities; exemplified in insects by the actions of the products of the homeotic genes.

The introduction of semen or sperm into the genital tract of a female.

The physical displacement of sperm stored from previous mating encounters.

The generation of a mature, active peptide pheromone via processes unique to its processing and modification.

Catalysis of the reaction: L-pipecolate + O2 = 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylate + H2O2.

Catalysis of the reaction: GDP-L-fucose + N4-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1,2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1,3)-[N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1,2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1,6)]-beta-D-mannosyl-(1,4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1,4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl}asparagine = GDP + N4-{N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1,2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1,3)-[N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1,2)-alpha-D-mannosyl-(1,6)]-beta-D-mannosyl-(1,4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1,4)-[alpha-L-fucosyl-(1,3)]-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl}asparagine.

positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by pheromones

positive regulation of transcription from Pol II promoter by pheromones

Any process involving pheromones that activates or increases the rate of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.

Catalysis of the reaction: xylitol + NADP+ = L-xylulose + NADPH.

The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of the dorsal/ventral axis of the oocyte.

maternal determination of dorsal/ventral axis, oocyte, germ-line encoded

Polarization of the oocyte along the dorsal-ventral axis, by a gene product encoded by cells of the germ line.

oocyte nucleus migration during oocyte axis determination

oocyte nuclear migration during oocyte axis determination

The directed movement of the oocyte nucleus within the cell during the establishment and maintenance of the axes of the oocyte.
