Cytogenetic Analysis of Chromosome 3 in DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER: The Homoeotic Gene Complex in Polytene Chromosome Interval 84a-B
TL;DR: Cytogenetic evidence is presented demonstrating that the 84A-B interval in the proximal portion of the right arm of chromosome 3 is the residence of a homoeotic gene complex similar to the bithorax locus.

Genetic Analysis of the Antennapedia Gene Complex (Ant-C) and Adjacent Chromosomal Regions of DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER. II. Polytene Chromosome Segments 84A-84B1,2.
TL;DR: The existence of a gene complex in the proximal right arm of chromosome 3 of Drosophila melanogaster involved in the development of the head and thorax and at least five functional sites comprising the ANT-C are postulate.

Developmental studies of lethality associated with the Antennapedia gene complex in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: Transplantation of eye-antennal disks from lethal individuals heterozygous for two different AntpNs revertant chromosomes into wild-type hosts allowed the assessment of the function of the Antp+ allele in the antenna, suggesting that regulatory mechanisms associated with theAntp+ structural gene normally function both to allow its expression in the thorax and to repress it in the antennas.

Defects in embryogenesis in mutants associated with the antennapedia gene complex of Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: It is concluded that mutations and deficiencies of genes associated with the ANT-C have profound effects on embryogenesis.
Analysis of larval segmentation in lethal genotypes associated with the antennapedia gene complex in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: The terminal phenotype of individuals carrying lethal mutations in the W36, R11, or R14 complementation groups demonstrate that these loci are important in normal anterior development and/or body segmentation and suggest functional relationships to the homoeotic mutations previously localized to the 84A-84B1,2 polytene interval.
