✦ Synopsis
The gene pox-neuro (poxn), which number of innervating neurons, and cell division patencodes a possible transcriptional regulator including tern are all affected in the mutants, showing that poxn a paired domain, specifies the differences between mois strictly required for development of the adult chenoinnervated and polyinnervated sensory organs in mosensory bristles. In addition, the formation of some the embryo. A detailed analysis of this gene, and in precursor cells is suppressed in the mutants, sugparticular, an analysis of its function in the adult sengesting that poxn is also required for formation of sory organs, has so far been hampered by the unavailthe precursors of chemosensory bristles. ᭧ 1997 John ability of loss-of-function mutations.
