Abstract excerpt
In the developing eye of Drosophila, cell interactions appear to be responsible for organising undifferentiated cells into unit eyes, or ommatidia. Extensive mutagenesis has been used to search for mutations affecting the development and differentiation of ommatidia. These mutations have been characterized using sections of adults and immunocytochemistry of imaginal discs. Fourteen loci on the second chromosome...
