maintenance of apical/basal cell polarity

Retaining the established polarization of a cell along its apical/basal axis.

Interacting selectively with any inositol-containing glycerophospholipid.

The progressive compaction of the spermatid chromatin so that it reaches a level of condensation that is not compatible with nuclear activities such as transcription or DNA replication.

spermatogenesis, exchange of chromosomal proteins

The replacement of somatic histones within sperm chromatin with sperm-specific histones or protamines with unique DNA-binding properties, resulting in condensation of the sperm chromatin.

A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a nicotine stimulus.

larval midgut cell programmed cell death

programmed cell death of larval midgut cells

The stage-specific programmed cell death of cells of the larval midgut, during histolysis of the larval organ.

A multimeric complex that is able to catalyze the addition of methyl groups to histone proteins.

Extra Sex Combs/Enhancer of Zeste complex

A multimeric protein complex that can methylate lysine-27 and lysine-9 residues of histone H3. In Drosophila the core subunits of the complex include ESC, E(Z), CAF1 (NURF-55) and SU(Z)12.

hemocyte cell migration (sensu Arthropoda)

The directed movement of hemocytes within the embryo. Hemocytes are blood cells associated with a hemocoel (the cavity containing most of the major organs of the arthropod body). In Drosophila, embryonic hemocytes originate from the head mesoderm as a cluster of cells. The cluster splits into two and one group of cells crosses the amnioserosa. Both populations then spread toward the middle of the embryo and then disperse evenly throughout the embryo. As in, but not restricted to, arthropods (Arthropoda, ncbi_taxonomy_id:6656).

The chemical reactions involving a mycotoxin, any poisonous substance produced by a fungus.

The breakdown into simpler components of a mycotoxin, any poisonous substance produced by a fungus.
