General Information

Term

photoreceptor cell morphogenesis

ID (Ontology)

GO:0008594 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process in which the structures of a photoreceptor cell are generated and organized. This process occurs while the initially relatively unspecialized cell is acquiring the specialized features of a photoreceptor cell, a sensory cell that reacts to the presence of light. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
