Genetic interactions among vestigial, hairy, and Notch suggest a role of vestigial in the differentiation of epidermal and neural cells of the wing and halter of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we describe the results of genetic analysis of the vestigial locus by studying its interactions with hairy and Notch loci in Drosophila melanogaster. Different vestigial alleles in homo- and heterozygous combination with different hairy alleles show synergism in increasing both cell...
