orthodenticle is required for photoreceptor cell development in the Drosophila eye.

Developmental biology - 10 Jan 1996

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila photoreceptor cells (R cells) develop from the eye imaginal during the third instar larval stage and acquire their adult morphology during pupation. We show that orthodenticle (otd), a homeobox gene, is required for R-cell morphogenesis during pupation. otdUV-insensitive (otduvi) is a...
