Abstract:
In order to construct an anlageplan of the imaginal disc, various fragments of the wing disc from mature larvae of Sarcophaga peregrina were implanted into host larvae of the same age. The implants were metamorphosed with the host and the differentiated adult structures were analyzed. On the basis of the results obtained from the transplanted disc fragments, a fate map of the wing disc was satisfactorily constructed. The fate map of S. peregrina is similar to an earlier study of Drosophila, but the PAA, PWP, and AP are located in different positions from those of Drosophila.
