02-P011 Identification of new cell growth regulators in Drosophila melanogaster by genome wide RNAi screening

Abstract

talia. In the female disc, the A9 segment is much smaller than the A8, and it has been shown that the gene double sex (dsx) represses growth in the former, probably by repressing decapentaplegic (dpp) expression. We show here that the absence of Abd-B or homothorax (hth) in this segment also increases
