Abstract excerpt
Cell fates in the anterior and posterior termini of the Drosophila embryo are programmed by multiple zygotic genes that are regulated in response to a maternally encoded signal transduction pathway. These genes specify terminal as distinct from central cell fates, program pattern along the anteroposterior and dorsoventral axes of the termini, and also control endoderm specification and terminal morphogenetic...
