Mutants do not display a dominant Minute bristle phenotype.
Flies containing homozygous eyes (induced using the eyFLP method) have a glossy-eye phenotype.
Homozygous eye discs (induced by the eyFLP method) fail to incorporate BrdU properly.
mRpL4k14608 homozygous somatic clones in the eye have a 'glossy' phenotype - the mutant tissue appears smooth due to lack of lens development. Cell division is defective in these clones both anterior and posterior to the morphogenetic furrow in the third instar eye disc.
