The maternal-effect gene, female sterile (1) homeotic (fsh), has been implicated in the determination of segmental organization and identity. We have analyzed the spatial patterns of expression of several segmentation and homeotic genes in fsh-deficient embryos. We observed perturbations in the expression of the Ultrabithorax gene in parasegments 6, 7, and 8, consistent with the domain in which homeotic...
