Abstract excerpt

We report the developmental effects of expressing an Ultrabithorax (Ubx) product under the hsp70 promoter. Heat induction gives rise to a high, ubiquitous expression of Ubx product that lasts for several hours. We find that whether or not the overexpression of Ubx has a developmental effect on a...
