Larval Moulting Cycle and DNA Synthesis in Drosophila hydei Salivary Glands

Nature volume 213, pages 424–425 (1967)Cite this article

IN Drosophila, cell division stops from the time the salivary gland primordium is formed in the embryo, and no mitoses have been observed in the glands after this stage. The number of the cells present remains the same throughout the entire larval development and the increase in size of the glands is merely due to cell growth1.
