Cell shape changes during gastrulation in Drosophila.
Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 1990
Leptin M, Grunewald B
Abstract excerpt
The first morphogenetic movement during Drosophila development is the invagination of the mesoderm, an event that folds a one-layered epithelium into a multilayered structure. In this paper, we describe the shape changes and behaviour of the cells participating in this process and show how mutations that change cell fate affect this behaviour. We divide the formation of the mesodermal germ layer into two phases....
