...Carlos Estella; Richard S. Mann Drosophila leg development requires the cooperation of two secreted signals, Decapentaplegic (Dpp) and Wingless (Wg), to form the proximodistal (PD) axis. Wg and Dpp are also required to pattern the dorsoventral (DV) axis of the leg. Here, we show that Distalless...

..., implying that temporal and spatial regulations of the dpp gene expression are closely correlated with morphological diversity. In conclusion, although leg developmental pathways are different among insect species, the principal mechanism of leg development is likely to be conserved, judged from...

The failure to form joints when Notch signalling is compromised leads to shortened legs, suggesting that the correct...

We previously showed that exd acts together with the homeotic selector proteins ANTP, UBX, and ABD-A in the regulation of genes that execute...
