Octopod, a homeotic mutation of the moth Manduca sexta, affects development of both mesodermal and ectodermal structures.

Developmental biology - 1 Jan 1993

Miles C I, Booker R

Abstract excerpt

Several aspects of leg development in the moth Manduca sexta were examined using the homeotic mutation Octopod (Octo). This mutation causes a transformation of the ventral epidermis of the first abdominal segment (A1) to that of the third thoracic segment (T3), resulting in the presence of thoracic-like legs on A1. The degree of transformation of A1 is variable, ranging from bumps on the cuticle to fully...
