Drosophila Development: Embryogenesis
Segmental larva organization
Relationship between larval segments and adult structures
Body plan is determined by Maternal-effect and Zygotic-effect Genes
Follicle cells determine assymetric structure of the egg Egg Structure Oogenesis
Posterior Cytoplasmic Structures Determine Germ Cell Fate
A Gradient of Nuclear dorsal transcription factors determines the Dorsal Ventral Axis
Ventrally-located Follicle Cells Determine Nuclear dorsal through toll signalling pathway
Bicoid and Hunchback Gradients Determine Anterior Cell Fates Nanos (NOS) Gradient Determines HB-M gradient
3’ UTR determines localization of bicoid and nanos mRNA
Sequential Induction by Regulatory Proteins Determines and Refines the body plan
GAP gene mRNA localization
Pair-rule Protein Localization
Loss of function mutant phenotypes
Wild Type Fly
Homeotic Mutant
Homeobox Gene Clusters Also Regulate Body Plan in Vertebrates
