Mesectodermal cell fate analysis in Drosophila midline mutants.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Apr 1994

Sonnenfeld M J, Jacobs J R

Abstract excerpt

We have used enhancer traps and antibodies as markers of cell identity to assess the relative contribution of individual mesectodermal cell (MEC) lineages to CNS midline morphogenesis in four mutations that disrupt commissure formation in Drosophila. The absence of commissures, leading to longitudinal tract collapse, was seen in embryos mutant for the genes single-minded and slit. MEC lineages did not survive in...
