Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila melanogaster ecd1 mutation causes a severe temperature-sensitive deficiency in the titre of the steroid hormone ecdysone. This mutation was used to investigate the role of ecdysone in both the transcription of the genes mapped at the 3C11-12 intermoult puff region and the puff formation. Thoroughly synchronized ecd1 larvae were shifted to the non-permissive temperature at various times of the...
