Two gap genes mediate maternal terminal pattern information in Drosophila

D Weigel, G Jurgens, M Klingler, and H Jackle

Universitat Munchen, Institut fur Genetik und Mikrobiologie, Federal Republic of Germany.

In Drosophila three maternal pattern organizing activities, the anterior, the posterior, and the terminal, establish the anterior-posterior body pattern of the embryo by initiating the spatially restricted activities of the gap class of zygotic segmentation genes. The activities of tailless (tll) and the newly identified gap gene huckebein (hkb) are specifically involved in mediating the maternal terminal information at the posterior end of the blastoderm embryo.
