Sentences with phrase «haltere size»

Reduced morphogen availability causes a reduction in haltere size relative to the wing.

Not exact matches

Thus I was able to ask how the expression of this single gene limits the size of the haltere.

In the haltere, the same is true of the regulator of the size regulators: Heterozygous Ubx mutant flies have enlarged halteres (1), and flies with extra copies of the Ubx locus have shrunken halteres (7).

Ubx reduces the size of the haltere imaginal disc relative to that of the wing by decreasing the production and mobility of growth - promoting morphogens (for example, Dpp).

The alterations in transcription of dpp and tkv account for much of the reduced size of the haltere relative to the wing (2).
