The genetic control of arista lateral morphogenesis in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

The sensory bristles and epidermal hairs of Drosophila have proven to be valuable model cell types for studying the role of the cytoskeleton in cellular morphogenesis. We have recently begun to use the arista laterals as a third model cell type. The laterals display a combination of bristle and hair characteristics and provide a system where we can compare the relative importance of specific genes and subcellular...
