Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila decapentaplegic (dpp) gene, a member of the transforming growth factor-beta family, is required for dorsal/ventral pattern formation and midgut and imaginal disk development. We have identified a 3-kb upstream regulatory region necessary for dpp expression in the visceral mesoderm of the gastric caeca primordia and a second 2.5-kb upstream regulatory region necessary for dpp expression in the...
