Castro, Marta Letrán, Andrea Valencia-Expósito, Clara Grima, Marina Bermúdez-Gallardo, Óscar Serrano-Pérez-Higueras, Florencia Cavodeassi, Sol Sotillos, María D. Martín-Bermudo, Alberto Márquez, Javier Buceta, Luis M. Escudero, “Scutoids are a geometrical solution to three-dimensional packing of epithelia”, in Nature Communications, volume 9, →DOI:

  As a consequence, epithelial cells adopt a novel shape that we term “scutoid”.

(a genetic mutation of Drosophila):

• 1982, M. Ashburner, S. Tsubota, R. C. Woodruff, “The genetics of a small chromosome region of Drosophila melanogaster containing the structural gene for alcohol dehydrogenase. IV: scutoid, an antimorphic mutation”, in Genetics‎^[1], page 401:

  Mapping close to the structural gene for alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) on chromosome arm 2L of Drosophila melanogaster is the dominant mutation Scutoid (Sco). This mutation was induced with X rays by KRIVSHENKO (1959) and, when heterozygous, results in a specific pattern of loss of bristles from the head and thorax of the adult fly.

• 1995, Adrienne E. Dubin, Nathan L. Heald, Byrd Cleveland, John R. Carlson, Greg L. Harris, “Scutoid mutation of drosophila melanogaster specifically decreases olfactory responses to short‐chain acetate esters and ketones”, in Journal of Neurobiology, →DOI:

  Two independent lines of research led to the finding that the dominant Scutoid (Sco) mutation causes a diminshed extracellular electroantennogram response to the odorants ethyl acetate (EtAC) and acetone (AC).

• 1999, N. Fuse, Hitoshi Matakatsu, Misako Taniguchi, Shigeo Hayashi, “Snail-type zinc finger proteins prevent neurogenesis in Scutoid and transgenic animals of Drosophila”, in Development Genes and Evolution‎^[2]:

  Here have found that snail is ectopically expressed in the eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs in Scutoid larvae, and that this expression is reduced in Scutoid revertants. We have also shown that the expressivity of Scutoid is enhanced by zeste mutations.

• 2019, Subhashree Priyadarsini, Moumita Sahoo, Swetapadma Sahu, Rasu Jayabalan, Monalisa Mishra, “An infection of Enterobacter ludwigii affects development and causes age-dependent neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster”, in Invertebrate Neuroscience, →DOI:

  Scutoid is responsible for the formation of bristle in the thorax (Birkholz et al. 2009). An absence of PSc bristle indicates that the bacteria affects the scutoid and alters the development of bristles in the thorax. A mutation in scutoid is also known to affect the orientation of mechanosensory bristles of the eye (Birkholz et al. 2009).
