... to investigate the cellular development of sensilla in these same positions in larvae and pupae and thereby establish the developmental basis for the mutant phenotypes. We have found that H is required for at least two steps of adult sensillum development. In positions where ‘double socket’ microchaetes appear...

... Drosophila melanogaster sensillum development cell lineage cell differentiation The integument of most insects bears a collection of epidermally derived sensory organs (sensilla), distributed on the body surface in a characteristic pattern. Each sensillum consists of a group of highly specialized...
