Dependence of Drosophila
wing imaginal disc cytonemes on Decapentaplegic.
Dr. Su and her collaborators at University of Colorado, Boulder used ionizing radiation (IR) to induce DNA damage and apoptosis in cells of
the wing imaginal disc, the immature form of the fly's wings.

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).
Drosophila has two true
wings that develop from
imaginal discs of 50,000 cells and two smaller balancing organs called halteres that form from
imaginal discs of 10,000 cells.

wing (left) and haltere (right)
imaginal discs of Drosophila and is under the control of the Ultrabithorax Hox gene.
