sev14 eyes exhibit reduced number of Rh5 expressing R8 cells.
In the sev14 mutant eye, R7 photoreceptors are not formed; columns are disorganized in the larval and pupal medulla (disorganization in M4-M5 and M9-M10 layers, but not M1-M2 layers); unlike controls, the bifurcated Mi1 axon terminals are separated and split apart; importantly, the abnormal columns and Mi1 axon terminals are observed in the layers to which the R7 axon does not project.
sev14 homozygotes have decreased numbers of pale ommatidia (as judged by R8 marker expression).
Mutants completely lack photoreceptor cell R7 axons. The photoreceptor cell R8 axons develop normally until the adult stage in these mutants, showing normal targeting.
R7 cells are absent in sev14 ommatidia.
sev14 eyes show a loss of pR8 photoreceptors.
sev14 mutants lack R7 photoreceptor cells. However, the R8 and L1-L5 axons target correctly to their temporary layers in the medulla.
Ommatidia lack R7 cells.
sev14 flies lack R7 photoreceptors.
Homozygous ommatidia have no R7 photoreceptors.
Homozygotes lack R7 photoreceptor cells.
R7 precursor never develops into a mature R7 cell.
Transheterozygotes with argos257 fail to restore the production of R7 cells.
sev14 mutants partially rescued by sevY1485A.W1486A.sev are referred to as 'sev351' flies. 'sev351' flies exhibit reduction in numbers of R7 cells per ommatidium. This phenotype is dominantly enhanced by phyl mutants.
Neither SosNCatC.hs.sev nor SosNCat.hs.sev has any effect on R7 cell development in sev14/Y flies. No R7 cells develop.
Mutant phenotype rescued by chimeric D.virilis : D.melanogaster sev+ construct: 100% of ommatidia have R7 cells, and R7-specific Rh4 gene expression correlates with R7 cell rescue.
R7 precursor cell develops into an equatorial cone cell (EQC). P{HZ}klgH214 marker expression is present in R7 precursor cell and persists in the EQC.
Ommatidia lack R7 photoreceptors. Flies are attracted preferentially toward green light. sev14, sevS11.T:Hsap\MYC flies are attracted to UV light suggesting that some of the supernumerary R7-like cells make functional synaptic connections.
Ommatidia lack R7 photoreceptor cells.

The presence of RV12.hs2sev in a sev14 homozygous background suppresses the R7 photoreceptor loss seen in sev14 mutants.
Introduction of RV12.hs2sev clones in sev14 eye tissue results in normally constructed ommatidia (containing a single R7 at their centre). The R7 cells in these ommatidia are invariably pigmented (indicating the presence of RV12.hs2sev) and demonstrate the cell-autonomous rescue of sev14 in the R7 precursor by activated R.
n a sev14; Nact.sev double mutant background, R1/R6 cells differentiate as cone cells, and, in the adult eyes only large rhabdomere cells are evident in the outer regions (R7 level) of the eye. Thus, removal of sev from Nact.sev ommatidia presents the specification of the R1/R6 cells as photoreceptors.
Homozygosity for Socs36EEY11 partially suppresses the loss of photoreceptor cells R7 seen in sev14 flies carrying sevΔ22 (only 2% of ommatidia are missing the R7 cell in the double mutant flies).
The decreased number of pale ommatidia in sev14 homozygotes (as judged by R8 marker expression), is not suppressed by rhoGMR.Exel.
In EgfrE1/+ adults, the number of ommatidia with pale-type R8 cells and yellow-type R7 cells is significantly increased. Many of these are found in pale-yellow hybrid ommatidia with a yellow-type R7 and a pale-type R8. This phenotype is suppressed by sev14/sev14 .
sev14; wtsP1 eyes show the same phenotype as wtsP1 eyes, with all R8 cells being specified as the p subtype. sev14; Df(3L)melt-Δ3, wtsP1 triple mutants also show the wtsP1 phenotype.
Eyes that express meltScer\UAS.cTa, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long, in a sev14 background, have a high proportion of pR8 photoreceptors and a small proportion of yR8 receptors.
Many R7 cells differentiate in sev14 flies expressing atoScer\UAS.cJa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68. This rescue of R7 formation by atoScer\UAS.cJa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 is strongly suppressed if the flies are also carrying Egfrf3.
sev14 significantly suppresses the formation of extra outer photoreceptors caused by B-H1sev.PH.
The R8 rhabdomere projects more apically, assuming the position of the R7 rhabdomere, when klgScer\UAS.cBa is expressed using Scer\GAL4elav-C155 in a sev14 background.
The presence of the P{sevRas1.V12} construct rescues the R7 precursor from transformation into a cone cell and induces the formation of supernumerary R7 cells.
SosJC2 does not suppress the mutant phenotype, R7 cells are absent from ommatidia.

sev14; P{sE-torso4021-sev}/P{sE-torso4021-sev} flies exhibit R7 cells in many ommatidia.
sev14 mutants partially rescued by sevY1485A.W1486A.sev are referred to as 'sev351' flies.
Heat shock every 4 hours for 30 minutes starting 24 hours before and lasting 12 hours after the white prepupal stage can completely rescue the sev14 mutant phenotype. Heat shock every 8 hours causes a minor portion of ommatidia lacking R7 cells, heat shock every 12 hours causes well defined stripes of sev- ommatidia and wild type ommatidia.
Gerresheim, 1988.
sev14 flies carrying rosev.PI have no R7 photoreceptor cell, indicating that ro is unable to bypass the requirement for sev function to specify neuronal fate in the R7 precursor cell.
