General Information

Term

compound eye photoreceptor fate commitment

ID (Ontology)

GO:0001752 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a compound eye photoreceptor cell. A photoreceptor cell is a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation. Different classes of photoreceptor have different spectral sensitivities and express different photosensitive pigments.
