...Armen S. Manoukian; Henry M. Krause ABSTRACT During Drosophila development, an important aspect of body patterning is the division of the embryo into repeating morphological units referred to as parasegments. The parasegmental domains are first defined at the blastoderm stage by alternating stripes...

...Ernesto Sánchez-Herrero The abdominal-A (abd-A) and Abdominal-B (Abd-B) genes of the bithorax complex (BX-C) specify the identity of most of the Drosophila abdomen. Six different classes of infraabdominal (iab) mutations within the BX-C transform a subset of the parasegments affected by the lack...

...Ana Macias; Jordi Casanova; Gines Morata We have developed a specific polyclonal antibody that recognizes the protein products of the abdominal-A (abdA) gene, a member of the bithorax complex of Drosophila . The normal expression domain extends from parasegments 7 to 13, in good correspondence...

... of transcripts from these two genes. Dfd RNA accumulates in parasegments 0 and 1; Scr RNA accumulation shows a dynamic pattern spanning parasegments 2 and 3. The expression of Dfd and Scr seems to change from parasegmental to segmental during formation of the gnathal appendages. Both genes are transcribed during...
