General Information

Term

Malpighian tubule morphogenesis

ID (Ontology)

GO:0007443 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which the anatomical structures of the Malpighian tubule are generated and organized. This process takes place entirely during the embryonic phase. A Malpighian tubule is a fine, thin-walled excretory tubule in insects which leads into the posterior part of the gut.[ ISBN:0582227089 ]
