  1. Antp Scx /TM3 females were crossed with corto 420 /TM3, corto 07128 /TM3 or corto L1 /TM3 males, or w 1118 males as controls. Reciprocal crosses were also performed. As similar results were obtained, they were pooled. The resulting male progeny was scored for transformation of T2 into T1 leg as revealed by the presence of ectopic sex comb teeth.
