Abstract
Oncopeltus eyes grow by recruiting epidermal cells which become transformed into ommatidial components. We show by grafting experiments using a genetic label, that head epidermal cells from adults can also be recruited by growing larval eyes. However, prothoracic cells sort out from the head epidermis and do not become incorporated into the eye. A previous claim for successful transformation of cockroach thoracic cells into eye is discussed.Entities:
