Strategy for enhanced transgenic strain development for embryonic conditional lethality in Anastrepha suspensa.

abstract：:Epithelia are planar tissues that undergo major morphogenetic movements during development. These movements must work in the context of the mechanical properties of epithelia. Surprisingly little is known about these mechanical properties at the time and length scales of morphogenetic processes. We show that at a time...
