Planteome: Term Details for "posterior head segmentation" (GO:0035289)

Accession: GO:0035289
Name: posterior head segmentation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: gnathal segmentation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: Partitioning the posterior region of the insect head anlage into gnathal (mandibular, maxillary and labial) segments. Unlike the anterior head (procephalic) segments, formation of the posterior head (gnathal) segments occurs by a similar mechanism to trunk segmentation, where a cascade of gap genes, pair-rule genes and segment-polarity genes subdivide the embryo into progressively smaller domains. Source: PMID:15382136
Comment: See also the fly_anatomy.ontology term 'gnathal segment ; FBbt:00000011' and its children.
