Abstract excerpt
Drosophila imaginal discs are divided into units called compartments. Cells belonging to the same compartment are related by lineage and express a characteristic set of 'selector genes'. The borders between compartments act as organizing centres that influence cell growth within compartments. Thus, in the cells immediately anterior to the anterior-posterior compartment boundary the presence of the hedgehog...
