Abstract excerpt
The concentration of Dorsal protein in the nucleus determines cell fate along the dorsoventral axis of the Drosophila embryo. The dorsal-group genes and the cactus gene are required for production and transmission of a localized signal on the ventral side of the embryo which determines the position of the highest nuclear concentration of Dorsal protein. The ventralizing signal produced in somatic cells is...
