rhomboid mediates specification of blue- and green-sensitive R8 photoreceptor cells in Drosophila.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 4 Mar 2009

Abstract excerpt

Color vision is based on the differential color sensitivity of retinal photoreceptors, however the developmental programs that control photoreceptor cell differentiation and specify color sensitivity are poorly understood. In Drosophila there is growing evidence that the color sensitivity of the R8 cell within an individual ommatidium is regulated by an inductive signal from the adjacent R7 cell. We previously...
