Fig. 3. Functional homology between Xl Hoxc6 and Antennapedia. The figure shows: the phenotype obtained by overexpressing Antennapedia in Drosophila (above). Head segments are transformed to thorax, segment T2. Early XlHoxc6 ectopic expression in Drosophila gives the same phenotype as Antennapedia ectopic expression but Hoxa7 ectopic expression does not (not shown). The figure also shows the phenotype obtained by overexpressing XlHoxc6 in Xenopus (below). Head development is repressed and the thorax is enlarged. Image published in: Michaut L et al.
