Homozygous viable. Phenotype can be suppressed by su(Hw)2.
Wing venation defect. Suppressible by su(Hw).
Vein L4 shows one or more gaps both distal and proximal to posterior crossvein, generally nonterminal. Anterior crossvein shortened or absent. Other gaps and scattered branch veins in region of crossveins. At 19oC, nearly all flies have a mutant phenotype; at 25oC, there is slight overlap with wild type; at 30oC, virtually all flies are wild type. Dosage effect such that ci/0 haplo-4's are more extreme than ci/ci diplo-4's, which are more extreme than ci/ci/ci triplo-4's. Suppressed by su(Hw)2 (Kotarski). For interactions of ci with en, H, ve and cg, see House (House, 1953a) (House, 1955) (House, 1959) (House, 1961). Expression of ci sensitive to genetic background; selection possible for more and less extreme phenotypes (House and Yeatts, 1962); contribution of chromosome 2 more important than that of 3 (House and Pernaveau, 1971). Phenotypic effect visible in prepupa by absence of the longer longitudinal vein. RK1 at 19oC and higher rank with higher temperatures.
Wing phenotype is enhanced by enEnci at 18oC.
Terentieva, Feb. 1930.
Strength of ci alleles showing a ci phenotype in combination with enEnci can be ordered: ci1 < ci36 < ci57 << ciW.
