...Takashi Matsuo; Kuniaki Takahashi; Shunzo Kondo; Kozo Kaibuchi; Daisuke Yamamoto ABSTRACT Cone cells are lens-secreting cells in ommatidia, the unit eyes that compose the compound eye of Drosophila . Each ommatidium contains four cone cells derived from precursor cells of the R7 equivalence group...

...Chaoyong Ma; Kevin Moses ABSTRACT In the developing Drosophila compound eye, a wave of pattern formation and cell-type determination sweeps across the presumptive eye epithelium. This ‘morpho-genetic furrow’ coordinates the epithelial cells’ division cycle, shape and gene expression to produce...

The periodic pattern of the adult eye begins in the furrow with the spaced initiation of ommatidial rudi- ments, the preclusters. A wave of mitosis...
