Abstract excerpt
Endoreduplication cycles that lead to an increase of DNA ploidy and cell size occur in distinct spatial and temporal patterns during Drosophila development. Only little is known about the regulation of these modified cell cycles. We have investigated fore- and hindgut development and we present evidence that the Drosophila knirps and knirps-related genes are key components to spatially restrict endoreduplication...
