...Tobias Pauli; Makiko Seimiya; Jorge Blanco; Walter J. Gehring In Drosophila , the sine oculis ( so ) gene is important for the development of the entire visual system, including Bolwig's organ, compound eyes and ocelli. Together with twin of eyeless , eyeless , eyes absent and dachshund , so...

... of eyeless ( toy ) directly regulates eyeless ( ey ),which is necessary for initiating the eye developmental pathway. To investigate the gene duplication of Pax6 that occurred in holometabolous insects like Drosophila and silkworm, we used different truncated forms of toy and small eyes ( sey ), and tested...

...Claudio Punzo; Makiko Seimiya; Susanne Flister; Walter J. Gehring; Serge Plaza Drosophila eye development is under the control of early eye specifying genes including eyeless (ey), twin of eyeless (toy), eyes absent (eya), dachshund (dac) and sine oculis (so) . They are all conserved between...

...Jennifer Curtiss; Marek Mlodzik ABSTRACT The Drosophila signaling factor decapentaplegic ( dpp ) mediates the effects of hedgehog ( hh ) in tissue patterning by regulating the expression of tissue-specific genes. In the eye disc, the transcription factors eyeless ( ey ), eyes absent ( eya ), sine...
