Summary

This document reviews the development of Drosophila wings and legs, focusing on the roles of signaling pathways, genes, and structures during organogenesis of these appendages. It details the processes of invagination, folding, and morphogenesis. Various molecular players are discussed, such as Hox genes, signalling molecules (e.g., Dpp, Wingless), and gene expression patterns.
