Cell interactions and planar polarity in the abdominal epidermis of Drosophila.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Oct 2004

Lawrence Peter A, Casal José, Struhl Gary

Abstract excerpt

The integument of the Drosophila adult abdomen bears oriented hairs and bristles that indicate the planar polarity of the epidermal cells. We study four polarity genes, frizzled (fz), prickle (pk), Van gogh/strabismus (Vang/stbm) and starry night/flamingo (stan/fmi), and note what happens when these genes are either removed or overexpressed in clones of cells. The edges of the clones are interfaces between cells...
