The role of the cut gene in the specification of central projections by sensory axons in Drosophila.

Neuron - 1 Apr 1993

Merritt D J, Hawken A, Whitington P M

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the cut gene transform sense organs in Drosophila embryos from external sensory (es) receptors to chordotonal (ch) organs. We have investigated whether their central axonal projections are also transformed. Following Lucifer yellow injection of the sensory neuron, wild-type es and ch organs show characteristic, different projection patterns in the CNS. Transformed es neurons in cut embryos are...
