Abstract excerpt
The wing imaginal disc of Drosophila consists of the primordia for the adult wing and the body wall. The zinc-finger transcription factor Teashirt (Tsh) is expressed in the region proximal to the wing primordium and regulates the formation of the wing-body wall boundary. Here, we report that Tollo/Toll-8, a member of Toll family transmembrane proteins, is also expressed proximal to the wing domain. Ectopic...
