Analysis of premature loss of the extraembryonic Amnioserosa in Drosophila morphogenetic mutants

During Drosophila embryogenesis, an extra-embryonic tissue, known as the amnioserosa (AS), is required for the morphogenetic processes of germ band retraction (GBR) and dorsal closure (DC). Being extra-embryonic, the AS is not part of the embryo proper but is eliminated via programmed cell death (P...
