Abstract excerpt
In the absence of a vg+ gene, extensive cell death occurs in third instar imaginal discs, which results in a complete loss of adult wing margin structures. Essentially all molecularly characterized vg alleles are associated with deletions or insertions of DNA into the vg locus. These alterations...
