Morphogenesis of denticles and hairs in Drosophila embryos: involvement of actin-associated proteins that also affect adult structures.

Cell motility and the cytoskeleton - 1 Jan 1997

Abstract excerpt

We sought components that function in morphogenetic events downstream from the segmentation pathway in Drosophila embryos, so we examined mutations that affect development of adult hairs and/or bristles to identify a subset that also affect hairs and denticles on the cuticle of first instar larva...
