The Drosophila wing hearts originate from pericardial cells and are essential for wing maturation.

Developmental biology - 1 Jun 2008

Tögel Markus, Pass Günther, Paululat Achim

Abstract excerpt

In addition to the heart proper, insects possess wing hearts in the thorax to ensure regular hemolymph flow through the narrow wings. In Drosophila, the wing hearts consist of two bilateral muscular pumps of unknown origin. Here, we present the first developmental study on these organs and report that the wing hearts originate from eight embryonic progenitor cells arising in two pairs in parasegments 4 and 5....
