Abstract excerpt
An unusual recessive allele of the Drosophila groucho gene, which encodes a transducin-like protein, affects the fates of specific cells in the eye disc. groucho is one of several transcription units in the Enhancer of split complex. Most groucho mutations are zygotic lethal due to the proliferation of embryonic neural cells at the expense of epidermal cells. In contrast, flies homozygous for the mutant allele...
