Highlights: [•] Zfh2 ectopic expression in the distal wing reproduces all the phenotypes found in nubbin mutants. [•] Zfh2 represses the expressions of the genes nab, dve and fj and activates the gene dachsous. [•] Zfh2 allows activation of wingless gen in the wing hinge. [•] Zfh2 expression delimits the wing pouch domain. [•] The gene rotund regulates its own expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
