Abstract:"Here, [investigators] measured the signaling dynamics of the morphogen Dpp, one of several Drosophila factors controlling morphogenetic growth, in the developing eye." |

p.1885 right column top paragraph:"At the time of pupariation (about 96 h after hatching of the
larva), furrow movement across the anterior is not yet completed, so
some anterior tissue remains. From 60 h to the end of third instar, the
posterior width Lp steadily increases by about vS≈3 μm/h (Fig. 1D). This velocity vS corresponds to the velocity of furrow progression, because the contribution of the posterior second mitotic wave to posterior width growth can be neglected (see the Materials and methods in the supplementary material)." |
