Abstract excerpt
The activity of the Notch locus of Drosophila melanogaster during embryogenesis is necessary for the correct segregation of neural from epidermal lineages. The action of Notch is not confined to embryogenesis but is also essential for normal development during the postembryonic stages. Its action is pleiotropic, as revealed by the existence of several classes of mutations which affect various imaginal structures....
