The muscle pattern of the Drosophila abdomen depends on a subdivision of the anterior compartment of each segment.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Jan 2012

Krzemien Joanna, Fabre Caroline C G, Casal José, Lawrence Peter A

Abstract excerpt

In the past, segments were defined by landmarks such as muscle attachments, notably by Snodgrass, the king of insect anatomists. Here, we show how an objective definition of a segment, based on developmental compartments, can help explain the dorsal abdomen of adult Drosophila. The anterior (A) compartment of each segment is subdivided into two domains of cells, each responding differently to Hedgehog. The...
