Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Embryos derived from fafB4/fafBX3 females mated to wild-type males show significant ventralisation of the cuticle, with a herniated head, defective Filzkorper, malformed dorsal cuticle and extended denticle belts.

fafBX3/fafFO8 eyes are nearly wild type.

fafBX3/fafFO8 flies have facets with more than the wild-type number of photoreceptor cell and an abnormal number of cone cells.

fafFO8/fafBX3 flies have essentially wild-type eyes.

fafBX3/fafFO8 and homozygous adults exhibit nearly wild type eyes with a smooth exterior.

Most facets of homozygotes and transheterozygotes with fafFO8 contain more than the normal complement of 8 photoreceptor cells, many facets have extra R7 cells and a small proportion have missing R7 cells.

Mutation causes no significant alteration to the variegated eye phenotype of In(1)wm4h.

Eyes roughened due to abnormalities in the hexagonal facet array: but only 1% of facets are affected. Ovaries of homozygous females are normal in appearance but the embryos produced never form syncytial blastoderm and all fail to hatch.

Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The presence of fafBX3/+ rescues the bang-sensitive phenotype of pksple-1/+ mutants.

The eyes of fafBX3/fafFO8 flies are severely malformed if the flies are also carrying one copy of lqfAG. Nearly all facets of lqfbE25 fafBX3/fafBX3 eyes contain one or more ectopic photoreceptors in addition to the normal complement of 8. The fafBX3/fafFO8 phenotype is dominantly enhanced by Chc1, no enhancement if seen with Chc4. The fafBX3/fafFO8 phenotype is dominantly enhanced by shiEM42 or shiEM45. The fafBX3/fafFO8 phenotype is slightly enhanced if the flies are also homozygous for shi1 or shi2. The lqfbE25 fafBX3/fafBX3 mutant phenotype is dominantly enhanced by Chc1 or Chc4. The lqfbE25 fafBX3/fafFO8 mutant phenotype is suppressed by effXS347, eff01462, Pros26rv10e or Pros261.

The addition of three copies of P{ro-UbcD1.T:Hsap\MYC} to fafFO8/fafBX3 flies enhances the eye phenotype.
