Abstract excerpt
semang (sag), a mutation isolated as a suppressor of Drosophila Src42A, has previously been shown to affect some receptor tyrosine kinase mediated embryonic processes. Here we show that sag specifically affects the development of R1, R6 and R7 photoreceptor cells in a cell-autonomous manner. These cells are absent in the mutant at the time when they normally appear in the ommatidial pre-clusters. Genetic analyses...
