A Krüppel-like factor is required for development and regeneration of germline and yolk cells from somatic stem cells in planarians.

A Krüppel-like factor is required for development and regeneration of germline and yolk cells from somatic stem cells in planarians.

Sexually reproducing animals segregate their germline from their soma. In addition to gamete-producing gonads, planarian and parasitic flatworm reproduction relies on yolk cell-generating accessory reproductive organs (vitellaria) supporting development of yolkless oocytes.
