Abstract excerpt
The DNA puff BhC4-1 gene of the sciarid Bradysia hygida is induced in salivary glands prior to the pupal molt as a secondary response to the increase in ecdysone titers. Previous studies demonstrated that the BhC4-1 promoter is activated in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster salivary glands as a late response to the ecdysone peak that triggers metamorphosis, revealing that this aspect of BhC4-1 transcriptional...
