Reciprocal transplantation of wing discs between a wing deficient mutant (fl) and wild type of the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Abstract excerpt

The wingless mutant flügellos (fl) of the silkworm lacks all four wings. Although wing discs of the fl seem to develop normally until the fourth larval instar, wing morphogenesis stops after the fourth larval ecdysis, probably caused by aberrant expression of an unidentified factor, referred to as fl. To characterize factor fl, the wing discs dissected from the wild-type (WT) and fl larvae were transplanted into...
