AMPK restricts germline stem cell (GSC) proliferation on a poor diet. AMPK inhibits vitellogenesis on a poor diet, but does not control early cyst death. AMPK in follicle cells, but not in the germline, controls follicle growth. Basal AMPK activity promotes GSC maintenance on a rich diet. AMPK has a nutrient-independent, developmental role in follicle formation.
