The present work aims at establishing the first bases for studying the insect oocyte polarity in a phylogenetically basal species, the cockroach Blattella germanica. Our approach was to choose some genes that have been described as key in the establishment of oocyte polarity in Drosophila melanogaster. Among them we studied, Capicua, a HMG box transcription factor repressor in B. germanica, which is required for the establishment of dorsal-ventral patterning of eggshell and embryo. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) that is also essential for the polarity establishment in the oocyte. We study the function of Notch pathway and how the components of this pathway participate in the proper development of the oocyte. Otherwise, trying t...
