Abstract

Morphogenetic shape changes are regulated by mechanical properties of interacting tissues, but other factors remain less studied. By exploring how homeotic genes regulate morphogenesis, Villedieu et al. uncover how the interplay between genetic patterning and initial tissue geometry drives morphogenesis during development.
