Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous eyes are rough and many ommatidia contain an abnormal number of photoreceptor cells.

The ommatidia of lqfFDD9 homozygous adults have extra photoreceptors.

Homozygotes are nearly wild-type at 18oC but have eye and wing defects at 25oC. At 25oC, the eyes contain facets with ectopic photoreceptor cells. The additional photoreceptor cells arise from the 'mystery cells' which are present early during eye development. Wings have thickenings of the longitudinal veins and clumps of bristles and notching at the wing margin. Legs have fused and shortened tarsal segments. Second and third legs have defects similar to those in the first legs and a variety of bristle duplications are also seen. lqfFDD9/lqfS011027 flies have similar but more severe phenotypes than those of lqfFDD9 homozygotes. When homozygous lqfFDD9 clones are induced in the eye, phenotypically mutant facets at the clone border containing ectopic photoreceptors are seen in which each photoreceptor, including the ectopic one, is lqf+.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

RalaEE1 and RalaPG69 each dominantly suppress the rough eye phenotype of lqfFDD9 homozygotes, with a greater proportion of ommatidia containing the normal number of photoreceptor cells in the double mutant flies.

Unlike lqfFDD9/lqfFDD9 animals, lqfFDD9/lqfFDD9; neur1/+ die as larvae. The number of photoreceptors per ommatidium in lqfFDD9/lqfFDD9 flies is increased still further by neur11/+.

The eye defects of lqfFDD9 homozygotes are dominantly enhanced by Chc4. The Chc1/+ ; lqfFDD9/lqfFDD9 combination is lethal. Rare escapers have severely malformed eyes and tarsal fusions and the wing phenotype is enhanced compared to lqfFDD9 homozygotes. The eye and wing defects of lqfFDD9 homozygotes are dominantly enhanced by α-Adaptin3. The lqfFDD9 phenotype is enhanced if the flies are also homozygous for shi1 or shi2.
