Joint regulation of cell size and cell number in the wing blade of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetical research - 1 Feb 1997

McCabe J, French V, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

We used Drosophila melanogaster to test for compensatory control of cell area and cell number in the regulation of total wing area. In two random bred wild-type base stocks collected from different geographic locations we found a negative association between the area and the number of cells in the wing blade. Three replicate lines were selected for increased or decreased wing area, with cell area maintained at...
