General Information

Term

leg disc morphogenesis

ID (Ontology)

GO:0007478 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which the anatomical structures derived from the leg disc are generated and organized. This includes the transformation of a leg imaginal disc from a monolayered epithelium in the larvae of holometabolous insects into recognizable adult structures including the leg, coxa and ventral thoracic pleura.[ ISBN:0879694238 ]
