Df(3R)E(spl)-rv27 homozygotes and in combination with gro+t10.4 are lethal. Df(3R)E(spl)-rv27 gro+t10.4 clones display an increased microchaete density, occasionally two instead of the single macrochaete can be seen. Homozygous clones fail to differentiate bristles and form scars on the cuticle, sometimes associated with a few mutant epidermal hairs.
Clones extending to the wing margin in the posteior or anterior portion of the wing cause loss of margin tissue. Clones in the anterior compartment are accompanied by overgrowth and pattern duplication phenotypes.
In a gro+t9.2 background, Df(3R)E(spl)-rv27/+ has no effect on the bristle loss phenotype of H20/HE31 while Df(3R)E(spl)-rv27/Df(3R)E(spl)-r72.1 suppresses the bristle loss phenotype.
In clones in the wing, the phenotype depends on where the clone lies. In the anterior compartment all clones abutting the wing margin cause local overgrowth and pattern duplications. Those abutting the wing margin and restricted to dorsal or ventral surfaces cause overgrowth of both dorsal and ventral cells. Clones at the wing margin cause loss of sensory organs and mild scalloping of the margin.
Hyperplasia of replicating sensory precursors: due to an increased number of ectodermal cells being recruited as sensory precursor cells.
Homozygotes exhibit a neurogenic phenotype: the entire neuroectoderm and the epidermal connections between the head and trunk are neuralised leaving only a small shield of dorsal epidermis. Transgenes encoding mutant versions of E(spl) and E(spl)m5-HLH reduce the severity of the neurogenic phenotype.
