Genetic basis of wing morphogenesis in Drosophila: sexual dimorphism and non-allometric effects of shape variation.

BMC developmental biology - 2 Jun 2011

Carreira Valeria P, Soto Ignacio M, Mensch Julián, Fanara Juan J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Drosophila wing represents a particularly appropriate model to investigate the developmental control of phenotypic variation. Previous studies which aimed to identify candidate genes for wing morphology demonstrated that the genetic basis of wing shape variation in D. melanogaster is composed of numerous genetic factors causing small, additive effects. In this study, we analyzed wing shape in...
