We have followed the pupal development of the indirect flight muscles (IFMs) of Drosophila melanogaster. At the onset of metamorphosis larval muscles start to histolyze, with the exception of a specific set of thoracic muscles. Myoblasts surround these persisting larval muscles and begin the formation of one group of adult indirect flight muscles, the dorsal longitudinal muscles. We show that the other group of indirect flight muscles, the dorsoventral muscles, develops simultaneously but without the use of larval templates. By morphological criteria and by patterns of specific gene expression, our experiments define events in IFM development.
我们追踪了黑腹果蝇间接飞行肌（IFM）的蛹期发育过程。在变态开始时，幼虫肌肉开始组织溶解，除了一组特定的胸部肌肉。成肌细胞围绕这些持续存在的幼虫肌肉，并开始形成一组成年间接飞行肌，即背纵肌。我们发现，另一组间接飞行肌，即背腹肌，同时发育，但不利用幼虫模板。通过形态学标准和特定基因表达模式，我们的实验确定了间接飞行肌发育过程中的事件。
