Abstract excerpt
The insect cuticle is a highly differentiated structure exhibiting considerable variety and specialization. Part of this specialization is achieved by regulating the nature and/or extent of sclerotization. The dopa decarboxylase (Ddc) and alpha-methyldopa hypersensitive (l(2)amd) genes of Drosophila are structurally related and it has been shown that the Ddc gene is required for the proper sclerotization of...
