Distinction between color photoreceptor cell fates is controlled by Prospero in Drosophila.

Developmental cell - 1 Jun 2003

Cook Tiffany, Pichaud Franck, Sonneville Remi, Papatsenko Dmitri, Desplan Claude

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila compound eye consists of approximately 750 independently functioning ommatidia, each containing two photoreceptor subpopulations. The outer photoreceptors participate in motion detection, while the inner photoreceptors contribute to color vision. Although the inner photoreceptors, R7 and R8, terminally differentiate into functionally related cells, they differ in their molecular and morphological...
