A non-radioactive in situ hybridization method for the localization of specific RNAs in Drosophila embryos reveals translational control of the segmentation gene hunchback.

TL;DR: A non-radioactive in situ hybridization technique for the localization of RNA in whole mount Drosophila embryos and revealed translational control of the maternally derived hb mRNA, which was difficult to detect by conventional techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

A morphogenetic gradient of hunchback protein organizes the expression of the gap genes Kruppel and knirps in the early Drosophila embryo

TL;DR: Evidence is reported to support the hypothesis that posterior segmentation might not directly depend on maternal positional cues, but be solely organized at the zygotic level and show that the hb protein itself is crucially involved in organizing abdominal segmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Posterior segmentation of the Drosophila embryo in the absence of a maternal posterior organizer gene

TL;DR: Absence of both repressors of hunchback results in normal embryos, indicating that posterior segmentation may not directly require maternal determinants.
