Abstract excerpt
The Dipteran flight appendages, the wings and halteres, develop from larval imaginal discs that also produce other sections of the second and third thoracic adult body segments. Loss of vestigial (vg) function in Drosophila selectively eliminates wing and haltere formation. Here, we show that vg expression is spatially restricted to the presumptive wing and haltere regions of these imaginal discs. An intronic...
