During evolution, animais have developed an astonishing morphological diversity, allowing them to adapt to a wide variety of environments. One of the most striking examples is the radiation of flight appendages in insects, starting from ancestors with two similar pairs of wings. Severa! studies showed the implication of a particular Hox gene, Ultrabithorax ( Ubx), in the formation of posterior flight organs. These organs correspond to the "halteres" in Diptera. Conversely, the formation of anterior flight organs is considered to be Hox independent.During my Ph.D work, we have questioned this mode!. We showed that the Hox protein Antennapedia (Antp) is produced in the wing primordium of the fruit fly Drosophi/a melanogaster and is required ...
