Abstract excerpt
Establishment of planar polarity in the Drosophila compound eye requires precise 90 degrees rotation of the ommatidial clusters during development. We found that the morphogenetic furrow controls the stop of ommatidial rotation at 90 degrees by emitting signals to posterior ommatidial clusters. One such signal, Scabrous, is synthesized in the furrow cells and transported in vesicles to ommatidial row 6-8....
