General Information
Term Nebenkern ID (Ontology) FBbt:00004943 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Mitochondrial mass which is the result of fusion of mitochondria into one structure, found in developing spermatids. At the onion stage, the Nebenkern consists of a densely packed sphere of tightly packed multiple layers of wrapped mitochondrial membranes, that resembles an onion at cross section. At leaf stage, the Nebenkern unfurls to resemble a spear point or leaf blade, and later at comet stage it elongates and splits into two mitochondrial derivatives.[ FlyBase:FBrf0064778 ]
