A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. Any process by which bicoid mRNA is transported to and maintained within the oocyte as part of the specification of the anterior/posterior axis. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The specification of the anterior/posterior axis of the embryo by gradients of maternally-transcribed gene products; exemplified in insects by the morphogens, bicoid and nanos. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the process by which bicoid mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of an axis in the oocyte. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the process by which bicoid mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the process by which bicoid mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. Any process by which mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location within the oocyte and/or syncytial embryo that contributes to the specification of the anterior/posterior axis. The establishment, maintenance and elaboration of the anterior/posterior axis. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism. Any process by which mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location within an oocyte that results in a pattern being established in the embryo. Polarization of the oocyte along its anterior-posterior axis. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
