Mutations at thefolded gastrulation (fog)andtwisted gastrulation (tsg)loci interfere with early morphogenetic movements inDrosophila melanogaster. fogembryos do not form a normal posterior midgut and although their germbands do elongate, they do not extend dorsally. As a result, when normal embryos have fully extended germbands, the germbands in mutant embryos are folded into the interior on the ventral side of the embryo.tsgembryos have abnormally deep dorsal folds during early gastrulation, associated with the failure of dorsal cells to slip laterally to make way for the expanding germband. Bothfogandtsgembryos continue to develop, but form disorganized first instar larvae.fogandtsgare zygotically active genes expressed at least by 10 and 20 min after the onset of gastrulation. Both mutations are viable in homozygous germ cells and the wild-type genes need not be expressed during oogenesis for survival of heterozygous progeny. Elimination offog+gene product from maternal germ cells does, however, affect the extent of folding observed during gastrulation in viable heterozygotes. Analysis offogadult and larval gynandromorphs indicates that normalfolded gastrulationgene function is only required at the posterior region of the embryo, most probably in the cells giving rise to the posterior midgut or proctodeum. The relative survival offogmosaics suggests that embryos with mosaic “lethal foci” also die during embryogenesis, although the typicalfogphenotype is only produced when the entire focus is mutant. In contrast to thefogfocus, no particular cell must be wild type intsgmosaics for survival. Wild-type cells on the dorsal side of the embryo, however, are most effective in rescuing the embryo. This indicates that normaltsggene product may be required only on the dorsal side of the embryo, potentially in the region which gives rise to the amnion serosa.
