Abstract excerpt

The complex embryonic phenotype of mutations in the faint little ball (flb) locus, encoding the Drosophila EGF receptor homolog (DER), was dissected by temperature shifts of a temperature-sensitive allele. We show that the phenotype can be resolved into at least five components, which are tempora...
