Abstract excerpt
The pattern of structures on most of the adult cuticle of Drosophila is determined in the larval imaginal disks. The Drosophila growth factor homolog decapentaplegic (dpp) is believed to participate in pattern formation in imaginal disks, primarily along what will become the proximal-to-distal axis of adult appendages. We report that dpp expression in wing, leg, and eye-antennal imaginal disks is localized to a...
