Abstract excerpt
wingless activity is required for the patterning of tergites and sternites in the adult abdomen of Drosophila melanogaster. In the absence of wg, tergite and sternite cuticular differentiation is replaced by that of pleura. Temperature shift analysis of a wg temperature-sensitive allele has shown...
