The Regulation of Aldehyde Oxidase in Imaginal Wing Discs of Drosophila Hybrids: Evidence for cis- and trans-Acting Control Elements.
The aldehyde oxidase (Aldox) distribution pattern was determined for wing discs of partial hybrids between D. melanogaster and D. simulans. In these animals the regulation of Aldox activity is not uniform over the disc epithelium as both cis-dominant and trans -acting control were evident in different regions of the disc. The Aldox expression was shown to be regulated by loci on the X chromosome, 2L and 3R of D. melanogaster and 2R and 3R of D. simulans.
