Abstract excerpt
The steroid hormone ecdysone induces a precise sequence of gene activity in Drosophila melanogaster salivary glands in late third larval instar larvae. The acquisition of competence for this response does not result from a single event or pathway but requires factors that accumulate throughout the instar. Individual transcripts become competent to respond at different times and their expression is differentially...
