FGF signalling and the mechanism of mesoderm spreading in Drosophila embryos.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Feb 2005

Wilson Robert, Vogelsang Elisabeth, Leptin Maria

Abstract excerpt

FGF signalling is needed for the proper establishment of the mesodermal cell layer in Drosophila embryos. The activation of the FGF receptor Heartless triggers the di-phosphorylation of MAPK in the mesoderm, which accumulates in a graded fashion with the highest levels seen at the dorsal edge of the mesoderm. We have examined the specific requirement for FGF signalling in the spreading process. We show that only...
