Abstract excerpt
Signalling by the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a critical role in the segmental patterning of the ventral larval cuticle in Drosophila: by expressing a dominant-negative EGFR molecule or Spitz, an activating ligand of EGFR, we show that EGFR signalling specifies the anterior denticles in each segment of the larval abdomen. We provide evidence that these denticles derive from a segmental zone of...
