The area in the center of the spindle where the spindle microtubules from opposite poles overlap.

compound eye morphogenesis (sensu Endopterygota)

The process by which the anatomical structures of the compound eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The adult compound eye is a precise assembly of 700-800 ommatidia. Each ommatidia is composed of 20 cells, identified by cell type and position. As in, but not restricted to, the Holometabola (Endopterygota, ncbi_taxonomy_id:33392).

platelet-derived growth factor receptor activity

Combining with platelet-derived growth factor to initiate a change in cell activity.

The process by which the anatomical structures of the larval eye in Drosophila are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The larval eye in Drosophila is a relatively simple sensory system composed of Bolwig's organs: two clusters, each composed of 12 photoreceptor cells from which axons extend in a single fascicle to the brain.

The processes by which a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is maintained in a location and prevented from moving elsewhere.

platelet-derived growth factor alpha-receptor activity

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the eye over time, from its formation to the mature structure. As in, but not restricted to, mammals (Mammalia, ncbi_taxonomy_id:40674).

The directed movement of RNA to a specific location.

platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor activity

optic placode development (sensu Endopterygota)

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the optic placode over time, from its formation to the mature structure. During embryonic stage 12 the placode starts to invaginate, forming a pouch. Cells that will form Bolwig's organ segregate from the ventral lip of this pouch, remaining in the head epidermis. The remainder of the invagination loses contact with the outer surface and becomes the optic lobe. As in, but not restricted to, the Holometabola (Endopterygota, ncbi_taxonomy_id:33392).
