Abstract excerpt
The photoreceptor cells R8, R2, and R5 are the first cells to initiate neuronal differentiation in the Drosophila eye imaginal disc. We have shown previously that these three cells require Star gene function for proper ommatidial assembly. Due to the embryonic lethality associated with mutations in Star, we have analyzed the consequence of loss of Star function in mosaic eye imaginal discs. Presumptive R8, R2,...
