Tissue elongation and its control by spatiotemporal signals is a major developmental question. Currently, it is thought that <i>Drosophila</i> ovarian follicular epithelium elongation requires the planar polarization of the basal domain cytoskeleton and of the extra-cellular matrix, associated with a dynamic process of rotation around the anteroposterior axis. Here we show, by careful kinetic analysis of <i>fat2</i> mutants, that neither basal planar polarization nor rotation is required during ...[more]
