Abstract excerpt
We have investigated Drosophila salivary gland determination by examining the effects of mutations in pattern forming genes on the salivary gland primordium. We find that the anterior-posterior extent of the primordium, a placode of columnar epithelial cells derived from parasegment 2, is established by the positive action of the homeotic gene Sex combs reduced (Scr). Embryos mutant for Scr lack a detectable...
