The role of transcription factors in the developing Drosophila eye.
In the developing Drosophila compound eye, multipotent precursor cells are induced to develop into particular cell types through sequential induction. In the target cells, transcription factors may be modulated by the inductive signals to execute their instructions. Four recently isolated genes may encode such developmentally modulated transcription factors.
