Abstract
The development of complex, multicellular organisms from a single-cell zygote is a fundamental biological process in all metazoans. Regulation of insect development is a very efficient process if the evolutionary success of this group of animals is any guide. Fortunately for entomologists, one particular insect species, the dipteran Drosophila melanogaster, has provided an outstanding model system for the study of the molecular biology of developmental processes. As a result, developmental control strategies are being elucidated first in this insect, providing paradigms for the study of development in all animals.
