EW1 neuron | increased number (with svp1)
EW2 neuron (with svp1)
EW3 neuron (with svp1)
svp1/svp2 embryos have extra U1 neurons at the expense of later born U neurons from the same (NB7-1) lineage. U4 and U5 neurons are particularly depleted. Similarly, there are increased numbers of early born cells from the NB 7-3 lineage (EW1) compared to later born cells from this lineage (EW2 and EW3).
When one cell of the R3/R4 pair is mutant in mosaic ommatidia in homozygous clones in the eye, the ommatidium adopts the wrong chiral form and the svp- cell assumes the R4 position. Mosaic ommatidia with mutant R1 or R6 cells behave normally.
