Effect of wing scalloping mutations on cut expression and sense organ differentiation in the Drosophila wing margin.

Abstract excerpt

A number of wing scalloping mutations have been examined to determine their effects on the mutant phenotype of cut mutations and on the expression of the Cut protein. The mutations fall into two broad classes, those which interact synergistically with weak cut wing mutations to produce a more extreme wing phenotype than either mutation alone and those that have a simple additive effect with weak cut wing...
