Abstract excerpt
The secreted protein Hedgehog (Hh) transmits a signal from posterior to anterior cells that is essential for limb development in insects and vertebrates. In Drosophila, Hh has been thought to act primarily to induce localized expression of Decapentaplegic and Wingless which in turn relay patterning cues at long range. We report here that Hh plays an additional role in patterning the wing. By replacing endogenous...
