Abstract excerpt

The bithorax (bx) mutations in the Ultrabithorax (Ubx) gene of Drosophila melanogaster cause homeotic transformations of anterior third thoracic structures (T3a) toward anterior second thoracic structures (T2a) in the adult fly. A corresponding loss of Ubx protein expression in T3a of bx imaginal...
