Article
Localized hedgehog activity controls spatial limits of wingless transcription in the Drosophila embryo
CELL patterning in the body segments of the Drosophila embryo requires activity of the segment polarity genes, a molecularly heterogeneous group defined by a generic mutant phenotype1. Two of these genes, wingles...

Article
Role of the Drosophila patched gene in positional signalling
AFTER cellularization of the Drosophila embryo, positional differences within each primordial segment are maintained and elaborated by processes that require cell interactions. The best-documented examples1,2 of ...

Article
A protein with several possible membrane-spanning domains encoded by the Drosophila segment polarity gene patched
The patterning of cells in insect segments requires the exchange of information between cells, which in Drosophila depends on the activity of members of the segment-polarity class of genes. Here we report the mol...

The molecular genetics of embryonic pattern formation in Drosophila
Nature 335, 25–34 (1988). THE labels were omitted from Fig. 2 in this Review Article, and are shown below in a black-and-white version of the figure.

Article
The molecular genetics of embryonic pattern formation in Drosophila
Analysis of the genes that control the early events of Drosophila embryogenesis is providing details of the molecular processes underlying the positional specification of cells. There are two distinct phases: the...

Regulation of segment polarity genes in the Drosophila blastoderm by fushi tarazu and even skipped
During the late cellular blastoderm stage of Drosophila embryogenesis the segmentation genes engrailed, en, and wingless, wg, become expressed in two series of 14 stripes1–4 which will subsequently coincide with ...

Article
The correct activation of Antennapedia and bithorax complex genes requires the fushi tarazu gene
In the Drosophila embryo the establishment and specification of metameric units depends upon the selective activation of the segmentation1,2 and the homoeotic selector genes3,4. The former are necessary for estab...

Article
Transcription pattern of the Drosophila segmentation gene hairy
Segmentation of the Drosophila embryo requires expression of the pair-rule genes, mutations of which cause reiterated deletions in alternate segments along the antero-posterior body axis. We find that transcripts...

Article
Differential expression of bithorax complex genes in the absence of the extra sex combs and trithorax genes
Each body segment of Drosophila follows a unique developmental pathway, controlled by the selective expression of homoeotic genes such as Sex combs reduced (Scr)1,2and the bithorax complex (BX-C)3,4. Little is kn...

Trithorax: A new homoeotic mutation ofDrosophila melanogaster
New alleles of thetrithorax locus have been isolated and analysed. The phenotypes of different allelic combinations confirm that a decrease or loss of function of the locus is responsible for homoeotic transforma...
