Abstract excerpt
A requirement for nitric oxide (NO) in visual system development has been demonstrated in many model systems, but the role of potential downstream effector molecules has not been established. Developing Drosophila photoreceptors express an NO-sensitive soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), whereas the optic lobe targets express NO synthase. Both of these molecules are expressed after photoreceptor outgrowth to the...
