BMP signaling components in embryonic transcriptomes of the hover fly Episyrphus balteatus (Syrphidae)
Abstract Background In animals, signaling of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) is essential for dorsoventral (DV) patterning of the embryo, but how BMP signaling evolved with changes in embryonic DV differentiation is largely unclear.Based on the extensive knowledge of BMP signaling in Drosophila melanogaster, the morphological diversity of extrae
