... in the embryo of the African plague locust Schistocerca gregaria, an orthopteran insect that displays a mode of embryogenesis very different from that of Drosophila . Transcripts of the caudal gene are expressed maternally and are present in all cells that aggregate to form the early embryonic rudiment. First...

...Jane E. Mee; Vernon French ABSTRACT The effect of heat shock (15 min at 48 °C) on segmentation has been investigated in the short germ embryo of the locust (Schistocerca gregaria) . Prior to formation of the germ anlage and at the disc stage heat shock considerably reduced the survival of eggs...

...Jane E. Mee; Vernon French ABSTRACT A heat shock (of 15 min at 48°C) given to early embryos of the locust, Schistocerca gregaria , results in localized abnormalities in the segment pattern subsequently formed. Most defects involve two consecutive segments of the thorax or abdomen...
