Developmental and genetic mosaic analysis of Drosophila m-dy mutants: tissue foci for behavioral and morphogenetic defects.

Abstract excerpt

Mutants of the Drosophila miniature-dusky (m-dy) gene complex display morphogenetic phenotypes (miniature or dusky) caused by a change in the size and/or shape of the epidermal cells comprising the adult wing. In addition to a dusky phenotype, certain Andante-type mutants also exhibit lengthened...
