  • Title: Developmental puffing patterns in salivary gland chromosomes of Rhynchosciara hollaenderi.
    Author: Stocker AJ, Pavan C.
    Journal: Chromosoma; 1977 Jun 30; 62(1):17-47. PubMed ID: 880845.
    Abstract:
    An analysis of puff formation and regression has been carried out in 3 morphologically distinct regions of the Rhynchosciara hollaenderi salivary gland during mid-larval through pupal development. Puffing differences among these 3 regions have been found and analysed for both trna and DNA puffs. The presence of such differences suggests that the gland regions may also be functionally differentiated. - Developmentally specific sequences of puffs have been distinguished and correlated with morphological and physiological events which occur during the development of Rhynchosciara. The DNA puffs as well as the RNA puggs enlarge and regress at predictably specific developmental stages. The presence of particular puffing sequences in the late larval to pupal period has been compared with the occurrence of known changes in the developmental ecdysone titre for Rhynchosciara. Certain aspects of this developmental picture appear to fit the ecdysone-stimulated puffing model for Drosophila, but other aspects indicate that the tdrosophila-based model may not be completely applicable to Rhynchosciara.
