The Dpp morphogen gradient derived from the anterior stripe of cells is thought to control growth and patterning of the <i>Drosophila</i> wing disc. However, the spatial-temporal requirement of <i>dpp</i> for growth and patterning remained largely unknown. Recently, two studies re-addressed this question. By generating a conditional null allele, one study proposed that the <i>dpp</i> stripe is critical for patterning but not for growth (Akiyama and Gibson, 2015). In contrast, using a membrane-an ...[more]
