Ultrabithorax is required for membranous wing identity in the beetle Tribolium castaneum.

Nature - 10 Feb 2005

Tomoyasu Yoshinori, Wheeler Scott R, Denell Robin E

Abstract excerpt

The two pairs of wings that are characteristic of ancestral pterygotes (winged insects) have often undergone evolutionary modification. In the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, differences between the membranous forewings and the modified hindwings (halteres) depend on the Hox gene Ultrabithorax (Ubx). The Drosophila forewings develop without Hox input, while Ubx represses genes that are important for wing...
