The Torso pathway patterns the ends of the Drosophila embryo. Now, it has been found to control axis elongation in the short germ insect Tribolium. This result raises the issue of the ancestral function of the Torso pathway and its evolution.
躯干信号通路决定了果蝇胚胎的末端模式。如今,人们发现它在短胚昆虫赤拟谷盗中控制轴的伸长。这一结果引发了关于躯干信号通路的原始功能及其进化的问题。
