General Information
Term dorsal closure ID (Ontology) GO:0007391 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process during Drosophila embryogenesis whereby the ectodermal cells of the lateral epithelium stretch in a coordinated fashion to internalize the amnioserosa cells and close the embryo dorsally.[ PubMed:9224720 ]
