The genetic control of tissue polarity in Drosophila.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Nov 1992

Adler P N

Abstract excerpt

The cuticular surface of Drosophila is decorated by parallel arrays of polarized structures such as hairs and sensory bristles; for example, on the wing each cell produces a distally pointing hair. These patterns are termed 'tissue polarity'. Several genes are known whose activity is essential fo...
