Abstract excerpt
During Drosophila embryogenesis, a cell sheet movement, dorsal closure, allows establishment of the dorsal epidermis. In this morphogenetic process, lateral epithelia undergo a dramatic movement toward the dorsal midline. In the mutant hemipterous (hep), spreading of the epithelia is blocked; in genetically sensitized hep embryos, cell sheet movement can be arrested at any time, indicating hep requirement in...
