headcase, an imaginal specific gene required for adult morphogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

The majority of adult organs of a holometabolic insect like Drosophila melanogaster are derived from specific imaginal cells. These cells differ from their larval equivalents in many important cellular characteristics, ranging from the nature of the cell cycle to the timing and pattern of cellular differentiation. Here we describe the cellular, molecular and genetic characterization of a gene, headcase (hdc),...
