Abstract excerpt
Gene Notch codes for a transmembrane protein, which is involved in cell interactions: mutations in Notch locus result in differentiation of all cells of the ventral and anterodorsal ectoderm into neuroblasts. In order to examine interrelations between cells of the normal and mutant phenotype, mosaic embryos were obtained. Procephalic regions of Drosophila trunk were most strongly affected in the experimental, as...
