Abstract excerpt

Viable mutants of the scalloped gene (sd) of Drosophila melanogaster exhibit defects that can include gapping of the wing margin and ectopic bristle formation on the wing. Lethal sd alleles characterized in the present study now implicate this gene in a genetic function essential for normal devel...
