Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila dorsal vessel is a segmentally repeated linear organ, in which seven-up (svp) is expressed in two pairs of cardioblasts and two pairs of pericardial cells in each segment. Under the control of hedgehog (hh) signaling from the dorsal ectoderm, svp participates in diversifying cardioblast identities within each segment. In this experiment, the homozygous embryos of svp mutants exhibited an increase...
