Epidermal growth factor receptor signalling regulates ommatidial rotation during Drosophila eye development
… of developing ommatidia, a process known as ommatidial rotation, during Drosophila eye development. The Drosophila eye consists of approximately 800 ommatidia that have to be precisely aligned with respect to one another for proper eye function. This precise alignment is achieved as ommatidia …

A Phenotypic And Genetic Characterization Of The Cell Adhesion Molecules Echinoid And Friend-Of-Echinoid In The Directed Cell Movements Of Ommatidial Rotation During Drosophila Eye Development.
… eye development, groups of cells, the ommatidial precursors, undergo a 90° rotational movement within a matrix of stationary cells, providing the cell motility readout of tissue polarity. The mechanisms that regulate ommatidial rotation are not well understood. In order to better …

Identification of echinus and characterization of its role in Drosophila eye development
… and echinus overexpression can cause defects in ommatidial rotation and the morphology of cone cells. echinus is a positive regulator of DE-cadherin and Enabled accumulation in adherens junctions of retinal epithelial cells. Genetic interactions were observed between echinus and the genes …
