Organ formation requires early specification of the groups of cells that will give rise to
specific structures. The Wingless protein plays an important part in this regional specification …

Abstract The secreted morphogen Wingless (Wg) has a variety of functions throughout
Drosophila eye development, controlling tissue specification, growth, and patterning. Wg …

The signaling factor Wingless regulates multiple steps during the postembryonic
development of the Drosophila eye. To obtain insight into the molecular regulation of …

During development, a small number of conserved signaling molecules regulate regional
specification, in which uniform populations of cells acquire differences and ultimately give …

The posteriorly expressed signaling molecules Hedgehog and Decapentaplegic drive
photoreceptor differentiation in the Drosophila eye disc, while at the anterior lateral margins …

Abstract The Decapentaplegic and Notch signaling pathways are thought to direct regional
specification in the Drosophila eye-antennal epithelium by controlling the expression of …

In Drosophila, the retinal determination network comprises a set of nuclear factors whose
loss‐of‐function phenotypes often include the complete or near total elimination of the …

Wingless signaling plays a central role during epidermal patterning in Drosophila. We have
analyzed zygotic requirements for Wingless signaling in the embryonic ectoderm by …

In Drosophila, the eye primordium is specified as a subdomain of the larval eye disc. Here,
we show that the Zn-finger transcription factor teashirt (tsh) marks the region of the early eye …

In Drosophila, the development of the compound eye depends on the movement of a
morphogenetic furrow (MF) from the posterior (P) to the anterior (A) of the eye imaginal disc …
