Deletion of DNA flanking the wtsP509-19 P{lacW} insertion, probably in the proximal direction, without loss of the distal P{lacW} sequences.
wtsP1 mutants produce overgrown adult eyes.
Overgrowth is seen wtsP1 mutant wing discs collected 36-48 hours after the L2-L3 molt.
In wtsP1 mutants, ddaC dendrites are indistinguishable from wild-type controls at 24-28 hours after egg-laying. By 48-52 hours after egg laying, wtsP1 mutant dendrites tile the body wall as in wild-type. During the following 24 hours, however, wtsP1 dendrites disappear from the body wall, implying wts is required for maintenance of the already established tiling of dendrites.
wtsP1 eyes are missing yR8 photoreceptor cells and contain an expansion of the pR8 subset. Some R8 rhabdomeres are missing altogether in these eyes but this cannot account for the complete absence of yR8 cells.
Homozygotes exhibit embryonic or early larval lethality. wts tumour phenotype in mitotic clones: overproliferation and apical hypertrophy of epithelial cells leading to abnormal deposition of cuticle.

A Df(1)djubI/+ genetic background modestly affects the wtsP1 eye phenotypes.
sev14; wtsP1 double-mutant retina show the same phenotype as wtsP1 eyes, with all R8 cells being specified as the p subtype. Df(3L)melt-Δ3, wtsP1 double mutants and sev14; Df(3L)melt-Δ3, wtsP1 triple mutants also show the wtsP1 phenotype.
wtsP1 is rescued by wtsUAS.L.Tag:MYC/Scer\GAL4ppk.PG
wtsP1 is not rescued by wtsS920.T1083.UAS/Scer\GAL4ppk.PG
Expression of wtsScer\UAS.L.T:Hsap\MYC, under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PG largely rescues the dendritic phenotype of wtsP1.
Expression of wtsS920.T1083.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PG fails to rescue the dendritic phenotypes associated with wtsP1 mutants.
