Wingless signaling and the control of cell shape in Drosophila wing imaginal discs.

Developmental biology - 1 Oct 2009

Widmann Thomas J, Dahmann Christian

Abstract excerpt

The control of cell morphology is important for shaping animals during development. Here we address the role of the Wnt/Wingless signal transduction pathway and two of its target genes, vestigial and shotgun (encoding E-cadherin), in controlling the columnar shape of Drosophila wing disc cells. We show that clones of cells mutant for arrow (encoding an essential component of the Wingless signal transduction...
