rhomboid, a gene required for dorsoventral axis establishment and peripheral nervous system development in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

rhomboid (rho) belongs to a group of four genes involved in the elaboration of positional information at a ventrolateral level in the Drosophila embryo. Mutations at any of these four loci also lead to a variety of other phenotypes, including reduction in the number of stretch receptor organs (ch...
