Capable of forming or relating to the formation of deutoplasm or nutritive material in eggs.
From deutoplasm + the suffix '-ic' (forming adjectives), with '-plastic' from Greek 'plastikos' (able to be shaped). Describes the capacity to produce yolk material.
Some cells in the ovary are deutoplastic specialists—they're essentially yolk factories, pumping nutrients into eggs to make sure the growing embryo has enough fuel for the incredible transformation ahead!
