Dynamic BMP signaling polarized by Toll patterns the dorsoventral axis in a hemimetabolous insect

Toll-dependent patterning of the dorsoventral axis in Drosophila represents one of the best understood gene regulatory networks. However, its evolutionary origin has remained elusive. Outside the insects Toll is not known for a patterning function, but rather for a role in pathogen defense. Here, we...
