The fruitfly Drosophila is regarded as the classical model organism for molecular genetics and developmental biology. Basic principles of embryonic development were established using this system. With approx. 140 plates comprised of many separate photographs and color figures of the various developmental stages of Drosophila, this second edition will be the standard reference work for many years.
