Apical constriction powers amnioserosa contraction during Drosophila dorsal closure. The nucleation, movement and dispersal of apicomedial actomyosin complexes generates pulsed apical constrictions during early closure. Persistent apicomedial and circumapical actomyosin complexes drive unpulsed constrictions that follow. Here, we show that the micr...
The contraction of the amnioserosa by apical constriction provides the major force for Drosophila dorsal closure. The nucleation, movement and dispersal of apicomedial actomyosin complexes generate pulsed constrictions during early dorsal closure whereas persistent apicomedial and circumapical actomyosin complexes drive the unpulsed constrictions t...
