Previous observations had indicated that the fz pathway functioned in the development of planar polarity in hairs, bristles and ommatidia [ 5 6 7 14 ] . Consistent with much current thinking on signal transduction pathways it has been suggested that there is a core group of fz pathway of genes that function similarly in different cell types [ 2 ] . Downstream genes would function to interpret the signal from the core group of genes in a cell type specific way.
It could also explain differences in the hair, lateral and bristle phenotypes of tricornered ( trc ) and furry ( fry ) mutants [ 19 26 ] . In such mutants bristles and laterals are often branched.
For example, the bristles on the mid-dorsal line from crown to rump of the quenk elevate when the animal is excited and the musk glands emit a musky odour [ 5 ] . Quenks maintain odour homogeneity within the herd.
The arista is the terminal segment of the antenna and it is comprised of a central core of epidermal cells, some of which elaborate a single lateral extension [ 8 ] . The laterals and the cells that form them share a number of characteristics of both hairs and bristles.
