The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the R7 photoreceptor over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The R7 photoreceptor is the last photoreceptor to develop in the ommatidium.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the spacing of the R8 cells, ensuring that the R8 cells are selected in a precise progressive pattern so that they are evenly spaced throughout the eye disc.

Catalysis of the reaction: 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate = 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + H2O.

establishment and maintenance of bicoid mRNA localization

The processes by which bicoid mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location.

Catalysis of the reaction: dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate.

oocyte pole plasm oskar mRNA localization

The processes by which oskar mRNA is transported to, or maintained in, the oocyte pole plasm.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + (R)-5-diphosphomevalonate = ADP + phosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate + CO2.

The physiologic processes by which bone tissue is lost.

Complex that possesses NADH dehydrogenase (quinone) activity.

Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 2-(3-carboxy-3-aminopropyl)-L-histidine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2-(3-carboxy-3-(methylammonio)propyl)-L-histidine.

The processes that maintain the redox environment of a cell or compartment within a cell.

Catalysis of the reaction: 3-cis-dodecenoyl-CoA = 2-trans-dodecenoyl-CoA.

The formation from simpler components of ecdysteroids, a group of polyhydroxylated ketosteroids which initiate post-embryonic development.

endoplasmic reticulum-nuclear sterol response pathway

The series of molecular signals from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus generated as a consequence of sterol depletion, and resulting in the activation of transcription by SREBP.

Catalysis of the reaction: L-dopachrome = 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylate.

The regulated release of ecdysteroids, a group of polyhydroxylated ketosteroids which initiate post-embryonic development.
