Abstract excerpt
Pattern formation in Drosophila involves a cascade of maternal and zygotic factors which are spatially restricted in the blastoderm embryo. Here we show that the Drosophila gene huckebein (hkb), a member of the gap gene class of segmentation genes, is not only required for suppression of segmentation in the terminal regions of the embryo but also to spatially restrict germ layer formation at the beginning of...
