Abstract excerpt
Genes that affect the expression of the NK-2 homeobox gene were identified by comparing the patterns of NK-2 mRNA in wild-type Drosophila embryos with patterns in mutant embryos that have defects in genes that are required to establish the ventral-dorsal pattern of primordia in the early embryo. The NK-2 gene was shown to be activated by dorsal in the ventral half of the embryo during the syncytial blastoderm...
