Detailed Description

Reference

Mutant show loss of distal wing vein L5.

Wing vein L5 is truncated distally in ab1 flies.

ab1/+ larvae do not exhibit a dendritic phenotype.

In ab26/ab1 mutant larvae, ddaE neurons in A5 segments have 19% more dendritic branches that the wild type.

phenotype of other strong alleles is not evident in abclu-1. ab1/abclu-1 heterozygotes show wing vein L5 failing to reach the margin of the wing. Wing vein L5 fails to reach the margin of the wing; wing veins of ab1/ab1D heterozygous adults are absent between the margin and the posterior crossvein. Thoracic and wing mechanosensory bristles are missing; occasionally one of the campaniform sense organs on wing vein L3 is absent; legs are gnarled and the more distal segments are reduced in length or absent; male genitalia rotated.

Removes all or some of L5, with absence of the posterior crossvein; the sensilla campaniformia of the anterior crossvein and some of the L3 are usually absent.

The L5 wing vein phenotype is more severe at 20oC than 25oC, the temperature-sensitive period is between 10 and 15% of pupal development time.

Vein L5 usually stops after posterior crossvein. Scutellar bristles usually fewer. Wing effect probably acts during contraction period (Waddington, cited in FBrf0020044). Overlaps wild type. RK2.

Reference

Wing vein L5 is distally truncated in the wings of ab1/+; biomb-1/+ flies, but not in those of either single heterozygote. In addition, biomb-1/+ enhances the distal truncation of L5 seen in ab1 homozygotes. While ab1/ab1 does not enhance the notching and margin bristle phenotypes of biomb-1 homozygotes or hemizygotes, the truncation of wing vein L5 due to ab1/ab1 is strongly enhanced. The posterior crossvein is also lost in these flies.

The L5 wing vein phenotype is more extreme in NAx-1 ab1 double mutants, and there is a deep middorsal furrowing of the thorax (a trait characteristic of some Abruptex alleles), suggesting that ab1 acts as an enhancer of the NAx-1 phenotype.

Alleles fall into an allelic series with respect to wing venation and bristle defects: ab1/ab1 = ab94/ab94 < ab1/ab60M = ab1/abG9 < ab1/ab1D = ab1/abG5.
