Abstract excerpt
Among insects, the genetic regulation of regional identities in the postoral head or gnathal segments (mandibular, maxillary, and labial) is best understood in the fly Drosophila melanogaster. In part, normal gnathal development depends on Deformed (Dfd) and Sex combs reduced (Scr), genes in the...
