The ground state of the ventral appendage in Drosophila.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 24 Aug 2001

Casares F, Mann R S

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster, the antennae, legs, genitalia, and analia make up a serially homologous set of ventral appendages that depend on different selector genes for their unique identities. The diversity among these structures implies that there is a common ground state that selector genes modify to generate these different appendage morphologies. Here we show that the ventral appendage that forms in the...
