Abstract excerpt
The Hedgehog and Decapentaplegic pathways have several well-characterized functions in the developing Drosophila compound eye, including initiation and progression of the morphogenetic furrow. Other functions involve control of cell cycle and cell survival as well as cell type specification. Here we have used the mosaic clone analysis of null mutations of the smoothened and thickveins genes (which encode the...
