Abstract excerpt
Drosophila larval coagulation factors have been identified in vitro. Better understanding of insect hemolymph coagulation calls for experiments in vivo. We have characterized a fondue (fon) mutation and null alleles isolated by imprecise excision of a transposable element. Loss of fon was pupal lethal, but adults could be recovered by expressing the UAS::fonGFP construct of Lindgren et al. (2008). Despite their...
