Pattern formation in the eye imaginal disc of Drosophila occurs in a wave that moves from posterior to anterior. The anterior edge of this wave is marked by a contracted band of cells known as the morphogenetic furrow, behind which photoreceptors differentiate. The movement of the furrow is dependent upon the secretion of the signalling protein Hedgehog (Hh) by more posterior cells, and it has been suggested that...
