Abstract excerpt
Sense organ development in the Drosophila antenna is initiated by the selection of a founder cell from an epidermal field. This cell is believed to recruit neighbours to form a cluster of cells which then divides to form a mature sense organ. In most systems so far studied, sense organ type appea...
