Delimiting the conserved features of hunchback function for the trunk organization of insects.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Mar 2008

Marques-Souza Henrique, Aranda Manuel, Tautz Diethard

Abstract excerpt

The gap gene hunchback in Drosophila acts during syncytial blastoderm stage via a short-range gradient and concentration-dependent activation or repression of target genes. Orthologues of hunchback can be easily found in other insects, but it has been unclear how well its functions are conserved. The segmentation process in most insect embryos occurs under cellular conditions, which should not allow the formation...
