Abstract excerpt
Cell fate determination in many systems is based upon inductive events driven by cell-cell interactions. Inductive signaling regulates many aspects of Drosophila compound eye development. Accumulating evidence suggests that the color sensitivity of the R8 photoreceptor cell within an individual ommatidium is regulated by an inductive signal from the adjacent R7 photoreceptor cell. This signal is thought to...
