.... rhove mutations (lacking rhomboid in wings) suppress the excess vein formation and associated with bs . Conversely, rho expression in prepupal and pupal bs wings is expanded in the regions of increased vein formation. (ii) The integrin genes, inflated and myospheroid , are expressed in intervein cells...

... transduction. We are interested in assessing integrin functions in the context of developing Drosophila melanogaster . This report, using mutants of the β PS subunit encoded by the myospheroid ( mys ) locus, analyzes the relationships between integrin protein structure and developmental functions in an intact...
