homothorax and iroquois-C genes are required for the establishment of territories within the developing eye disc.

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila the eye-antennal disc gives rise to most adult structures of the fly's head. Yet the molecular basis for its regionalization during development is poorly understood. Here we show that homothorax is required early during development for normal eye development and is necessary for the formation of the ventral head capsule. In the ventral region of the disc only, homothorax and wingless are involved in...
