Abstract excerpt
Steroid hormones trigger a wide variety of biological responses through stage- and tissue-specific activation of target gene expression. The mechanisms that provide specificity to systemically released pulses of steroids, however, remain poorly understood. We previously completed a forward genetic screen for mutations that disrupt the destruction of larval salivary glands during metamorphosis in Drosophila...
