The <i>18-wheeler</i> (<i>18w</i>) gene found in <i>Drosophila
melanogaster</i> directs epithelial cell migration during embryonic development
and affects salivary gland morphogenesis. Homozygous <i>18w </i>mutant embryos have
abnormal salivary glands. To identify genes interacting with <i>18w</i> during
epithelial organ development we utilize the observation that embryos
heterozygous both for <i>18w</i> and for a gene that interacts with <i>18w</i>
produce defective salivary glands.
