Genetic and molecular studies of apterous: a gene implicated in the juvenile hormone system of Drosophila.

Archives of insect biochemistry and physiology - 1 Jan 1995

Shtorch A, Werczberger R, Segal D

Abstract excerpt

The apterous (ap) gene in Drosophila melanogaster encodes a homeodomain transcription factor. It is required for the development of the wings and of a subset of embryonic muscles. The gene has been implicated in the juvenile hormone (JH) system because mutations in ap lead to JH deficiency, and are associated with defective histolysis of the larval fat body, arrested vitellogenesis, sterility, and aberrant sexual...
