Abstract
Striking bristle phenotypes resembling those characteristic of the mutants forked and singed are frequently found in implants of dorsal mesothoracic disks of D. melanogaster wild type larvae in wild type hosts. This phenomenon is obviously due to the compression and interference to which the bristles are subjected during their development, for the implant is unable to evert as it grows within the host. Compression effects must therefore be considered when studying the development of transplanted bristle bearing tissues.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
