Abstract excerpt
Expression of Ultrabithorax (UBX) proteins via a heat-inducible promoter generated homeotic transformations of segmental identities in the embryonic cuticle and peripheral nervous system (PNS) of Drosophila and transformed antennae into legs in the adult. The embryonic transformations were used to determine the identity functions of members of the UBX family and UBX mutant forms. Whereas UBX forms I and IV each...
