In the developing Drosophila wing disc, maintenance of the straight anteroposterior (AP) compartment boundary involves a local increase in mechanical tension at cell bonds along the boundary. The biochemical signals that regulate mechanical tension along...

We present evidence that this reduction is necessary for D and V compartment cells to interact along the compartment boundary to induce signals, like Wingless (Wg), which organize the subsequent growth and differentiation of the wing primordium. *Author for correspondence (e...

...Fernando J. Diaz-Benjumea; Stephen M. Cohen ABSTRACT Growth and patterning of the Drosophila wing is controlled by organizing centers located at the anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral compartment boundaries. Interaction between cells in adjacent compartments establish the organizer. We report...
