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

Developmental biology - 10 Jan 1996

Vandendries E R, Johnson D, Reinke R

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 hypomorphic allele of otd that only affects R-cell development. The R-cell rhabdomeres are disorganized in otduvi, and...
