pnr cooperate with fred to regulate SOP cell fate both positively and negatively in the medial notum of Drosophila.
Abstract
are essential for endogenous SOP formation in the medial notum, while (2) they synergistically suppress SOP initiation outside proneural clusters. These findings challenge the canonical assertion in the "Prepattern Hypothesis" that SOP formation strictly relies on proneural cluster formation, thereby providing a critical extension to the hypothesis.
