Abstract excerpt
The epidermis of the adult Drosophila abdomen is formed by a chain of anterior (A) and posterior (P) compartments, each segment comprising one A and one P compartment. In the accompanying paper (Struhl et al., 1997), we provide evidence that Hedgehog protein (Hh), being secreted from P compartment cells, organises the pattern and polarity of A compartment cells. Here we test whether Hh acts directly or by a...
