lzts1 mutant females raised at 16[o]C and shifted to 29[o]C at third instar larval stage fail to form spermathecae and accessory glands. Mutants shifted to 29[o]C at 24 hours after pupal do show formation of spermathecal ducts, but at least one of the spermathecal caps is absent in these animals.
lzts1 pupal retina that have been temperature-shifted (to the non-permissive temperature of 33oC at 20 hours after pupal formation) exhibit an increase in the number of 2o and 3o pigment cells compared to lzts1 flies at the permissive temperature (25oC) or controls (at 49 hours APF). On average, there are an additional two cells per ommatidium, which is similar to the number of cells that normally die. At 55 hours after pupal formation retina still exhibit additional 2o and 3o pigment cells, indicating that apoptosis is not delayed. There is a reduction in apoptosis in lzts1 retina, although perimeter cell death is not affected in lzts1 mutants. Temperature-shifted lzts1 adult eyes are only mildly rough and have wild-type pigmentation.
lzts1 flies lack all basiconic sense organs.
At 18oC, sections through the ommatidia appear normal in lzts1 mutants, while at 29oC defects in the lens and fenestrated membrane are seen. Ectopic cell death is seen in third larval instar eye discs at 29oC.
The eye appears normal at 25oC in lzts1 mutants, while at 29oC, posterior eye defects are seen.
Mutant flies have near wild-type eyes at 25oC, but have a rough eye phenotype at 29oC.
lzts1/Y flies raised at 25oC have wild-type eyes.
Crystal cells develop normally at 25oC but development is blocked at 29oC.
The number of sense organ founder cells seen in the antennal disc 10 hours after pupariation is reduced compared to wild-type in animals pulsed at 29oC from the second larval instar stage onwards. The number of basiconic sensilla of the antenna is reduced compared to wild-type at 25oC. The number of trichoid sensilla and coeloconic sensilla is unaffected at this temperature. The number of trichoid sensilla is increased compared to wild-type at 28oC. The trichoid region of the antenna is largely unaffected, but several "ectopic" trichoid sensilla appear in the region occupied exclusively by basiconic sensilla in the wild-type.
The amplitude of the physiological response of the antenna to ethyl acetate is reduced compared to wild-type, with the severity of the phenotype increasing as the temperature increases. This phenotype is at least partially rescued if the flies are also carrying Dp(1;Y)y+lz+.
Homozygotes have normal eyes when raised at 18oC. When raised at 25oC, subtle eye defects are seen; bristles of the hair nerve groups grow abnormally long and may be misplaced, although lenses are generally well formed. At 29oC, flies have a more severe phenotype, with poorly formed, fused or missing lenses, abnormally long bristles that are misplaced and a general lack of ommatidial structure.
Adults show missing, fused and reduced ommatidia and absence or duplication of several interommatidial bristles when raised at the restrictive temperature of 28oC. The eye phenotype overlaps wild-type at 25oC, the only defect being the incorrect location of some interommatidial bristles. The number of basiconic sensilla on the antenna is reduced by 30% at 25oC. Flies raised at 28oC show a striking reduction in the number of basiconic sensilla on the antenna, which is accompanied by a small but significant increase in the number of trichoid sensilla. The basiconic-like sensilla of the maxillary palps occasionally have abnormal shaft morphology, being composed of a short spine surrounded by a socket. The eye phenotype but not the antennal or maxillary palp sensilla phenotype of lzts1 flies is dominantly enhanced by E(lz)151, E(lz)531, E(lz)1741, E(lz)1781 and E(lz)2051.
The antennal funiculus is reduced in size in hemizygous males raised at 28oC or 29oC. All large and small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus are missing, and the number of trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is reduced. The number of coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is normal. The density of the coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased and the density of the trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is decreased compared to wild-type in hemizygous males raised at 29oC. The density of the coeloconic and trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased compared to wild-type in hemizygous males raised at 28oC. The antennal funiculus is reduced in size in hemizygous males raised at 25oC or 27oC. The number of large and small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is greatly reduced, and the number of trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased. The number of coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is normal. The density of the coeloconic and trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased and the density of the basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is decreased compared to wild-type. The antennal funiculus is reduced in size in hemizygous males raised at 18oC. The number of large and small basiconic sensilla is reduced. The density of the coeloconic and trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased and the density of the small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is decreased compared to wild-type.

Reducing lz activity by transferring lzts1 WGMR.PG flies to the non-permissive temperature of 33oC partially suppresses the WGMR.PG eye phenotype. Reducing lz activity by transferring lzts1 rprGMR.PW flies to the non-permissive temperature of 33oC partially suppresses the rprGMR.PW eye phenotype. Expression of argosScer\UAS.cHa, under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev in temperature-shifted lzts1 mutants results in a few small clusters of 2o/3o cells, which are not seen in argosScer\UAS.cHa Scer\GAL4hs.2sev single mutants. Reducing Egfr signaling (using temperature-sensitive Egfrtsla) in lzts1 retinas results in an increase in cell death.
lzts1 ; aopACT.GMR flies have a markedly reduced eye at 29oC, with the loss of all ommatidial structures. aopS2382/+ enhances the lzts1 phenotype at 29oC, with defects extending throughout the eye. Ras85DN17.hs.2sev enhances the lzts1 eye phenotype, making the eye rough at the permissive temperature for lzts1 and severely defective at 29oC. Ras85DV12.sev suppresses the posterior flattening of the eye seen in lzts1 flies at 29oC.
Rare lzts1 ; BgbD/Df(3L)Bgb-K4 escapers are seen. These flies are extremely weak and can only be rescued if they are dissected from the pupal case. They have a strong adult eye phenotype that is identical to that of a null lz mutant.
Temperature shift experiments indicate that lz+ function is crucial from approximately 87% of the third larval instar stage up to 7% of pupal life.
