A Genetic Test of a Model for Two Activities of Fushi Tarazu Protein in Drosophila Melanogaster
The important pair-rule segmentation gene fushi tarazu (ftz) encodes a homeodomain (HD)-containing protein involved in the establishment of even-numbered parasegments during embryonic development. The D. melanogaster ftz is a derived homeotic selector (Hox) gene which lost its homeotic function …

Investigating the cell surface code for compartment boundary formation in Drosophila embryos
… important for morphogenesis. The pair-rule gene, fushi-tarazu, genetically regulates tartan expression. Therefore, I also tested, using the same methods, whether loss of ftz impacts compartment boundary straightness. I found that ftz is required to straighten even-numbered, but not odd-numbered, …
