Liu S, Jack J
Abstract excerpt
Krüppel and caudal genes are both required for normal segmentation of the embryo, and the developmental regulatory gene cut is necessary for the normal specification of external sensory organs. These three genes are also expressed in the Malpighian tubules before and during differentiation. Two of the genes, Krüppel and cut, are known to be required for development of the tubules. We report that the absence of...
