Description:
Article Cells in Drosophila salivary glands undergo hormone-dependent apoptosis when larvae pupate. Here, the authors show that the histone methylase dUTX regulates activation of key cell death and autophagy genes leading to the removal of salivary glands during the Drosophila larval–pupal transition.
