Abstract excerpt
Steroid signaling underlies developmental processes in animals. Mutations that impair steroidogenesis in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster provide tools to dissect steroid hormone action genetically. The widely used temperature-sensitive mutation ecdysoneless(1) (ecd(1)) disrupts production of the steroid hormone ecdysone, and causes developmental and reproductive defects. These defects cannot be...
