Mutation of the GATA gene, pannier, in Drosophila results in an absence of cardioblasts and a decrease in the number of pericardial cells (20). tinman expression is lost in pannier mutants, and ectopic expression of pannier results in the production of supernumerary cardioblasts. Multiple T-box gene ...
