Abstract excerpt
The posterior spiracle has become one of the best systems to study how Hox genes control morphogenesis. Interaction of Abdominal-B (ABD-B) with dorso ventral and intrasegmental positional information leads to the local activation of ABD-B primary targets in the dorsal region of the eighth abdominal segment (A8). Primary targets pattern the spiracle subdividing it into two broad areas: external stigmatophore vs....
