Abstract excerpt
The alimentary canal of most animals can be subdivided into a fore- mid- and hindgut portion, each gut part possessing distinct physiological functions. The genetic basis underlying the formation of the different gut parts is poorly understood. Here we show that the Drosophila genes hedgehog, wingless and decapentaplegic, which encode cell signaling molecules, are required for the establishment of signaling...
