Wingless can bring about a mesoderm-to-ectoderm induction in Drosophila embryos

PA Lawrence, P Johnston and JP Vincent
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK.

By means of nuclear transplantations, we make mosaics in which largely wingless- embryos contain patches of wingless+ cells. In these genetic mosaics, using a standard assay for wingless function (the maintenance of engrailed expression), we uncover an induction across germ layers: Wingless made in the mesoderm can sustain engrailed expression in the ectoderm. This result makes clear that Wingless is expressed in the mesoderm until at least one hour after gastrulation and may function in this germ layer in the wild type.
