'The development of a multicellular organism from a single egg cell requires both the
determination of many cell types and the organization of these cells into an elaborate pattern …

Gap genes are involved in segment determination during the early development of the fruit
fly Drosophila melanogaster as well as in other insects. This review attempts to synthesize …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Tissue morphogenesis arises from coordinated changes in cell shape driven by actomyosin
contractions. Patterns of gene expression regionalize cell behaviours by controlling …

Identifying the genomic regions bound by sequence-specific regulatory factors is central
both to deciphering the complex DNA cis-regulatory code that controls transcription in …

Genetic analysis, embryonic tissue explantation and in vivo chromatin studies have together
identified the distinct regulatory steps that are necessary for the development of endoderm …

Since its discovery five years ago the conserved family of fork head/HNF-3-related
transcription factors has gained increasing importance for the analysis of gene regulatory …

The folded gasfrulaflon (fog) gene is required during Drosophila gastrulatlon for two
morphogenetic movements, formation of the ventral furrow and invaginatlon of the posterfor …

We describe the characterization of the Drosophila gene, hopscotch (hop), which is required
maternally for the establishment of the normal array of embryonic segments. In hop embryos …

Molecular biology is reaching new depths in our understanding of the development and
physiology of Malpighian tubules. In Diptera, Malpighian tubules derive from ectodermal …
