...H. Frederik Nijhout; Emily Laub; Laura W. Grunert ABSTRACT The wing imaginal disks of Lepidoptera can be grown in tissue culture, but require both insulin and ecdysone to grow normally. Here, we investigate the contributions the two hormones make to growth. Ecdysone is required to maintain mitoses...

...Carol Schwartz; John Locke; Craig Nishida; Thomas B. Kornberg ABSTRACT The cubitus interruptus (ci) gene of Drosophila is expressed in all anterior compartment cells in both embryos and imaginal disks where it encodes a putative zinc-finger protein related to the vertebrate Gli and C. elegans Tra-1...

... contributions is to proximal-distal outgrowth of the adult appendages, structures derived from the larval imaginal disks. Appendage specific mutations of dpp fall in a 20 kb interval 3’ to the known dpp transcripts. Here, we directly test the hypothesis that these mutations define an extended 3’ cis-regulatory...
