Homeotic evidence for the appendicular origin of the labrum in Tribolium castaneum.

Development genes and evolution - 1 Feb 2001

Haas M S, Brown S J, Beeman R W

Abstract excerpt

The ontogeny of the insect labrum, or upper lip, has been debated for nearly a century. Recent molecular data suggest a segmental appendage origin of this structure. Here we report the first arthropod mutation associated with a homeotic transformation of the labrum. Antennagalea-5 (Ag(5)) transforms both antennal and labral structures to resemble those of gnathal appendages in Tribolium castaneum. This labral...
