Drosophila melanogaster | gene expression is eye-dependent and is activated as a downstream target of the eyeless/pax6 and sine oculis master control genes for eye development | up |
General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | mutants show no photophobic behavior indicating that NinaB is essential for larval light perception. Enzyme expression and chromophore production is governed by eyeless and so, major control genes for eye development | Drosophila melanogaster |
