Abstract excerpt
We have used the GAL4-UAS expression system to increase the level of expression of the Drosophila gene decapentaplegic (dpp) in a pattern approximating its normal pattern in leg and wing imaginal discs. Intermediate increases of dpp expression have little effect in wing discs but high levels of d...
