Genetic analysis of Laminin A in Drosophila: extracellular matrix containing laminin A is required for ocellar axon pathfinding.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 1996

García-Alonso L, Fetter R D, Goodman C S

Abstract excerpt

Genetic analysis of the Laminin A (LamA) gene in Drosophila reveals that distinct classes of sensory axons have different requirements for extracellular matrix (ECM) containing laminin A versus epithelial cell surfaces. In the eye-antenna imaginal disc, the nerve from the three simple eyes (ocelli) to the brain is pioneered by a population of transient ocellar neurons whose axons extend on an ECM that covers and...
