Neuronal role of taxi is imperative for flight in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Extensive studies in Drosophila have led to the elucidation of the roles of many molecular players involved in the sensorimotor coordination of flight. However, the identification and characterisation of new players can add novel perspectives to the process. In this paper, we show that the extant mutant, jumper, is a hypermorphic allele of the taxi/delilah gene, which encodes a transcription factor. The defective...
