Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

lzr1/lzgal4 transheterozygous third instar larvae present a significant increase in both the number and size of circulating crystal cells (identified as Lozenge-positive), as compared to lzgal4 heterozygous controls.

Mutants have smaller eyes than wild type and show a dramatic loss of ommatidial structure and loss of pigmentation.

Homozygotes have smooth eyes.

The number of sense organ founder cells seen in the antennal disc 10 hours after pupariation is reduced compared to wild-type. The number of trichoid and basiconic sensilla on the antenna is drastically reduced compared to wild-type, while the number of coeloconic sensilla is largely unaffected.

Adult eye has a smooth surface lacking lenses and the ommatidial array.Partial or complete loss of tarsal claws in the leg, a reduction of the third antennal segment and partial loss of female fertility. Mosaic clones are generated in the eye, lz- cells lack pigment granules and cells along the clone border are phenotypically normal and abnormal. Aberrant ommatidia along the border contain seven rather than six outer photoreceptor cells.

Statement
Reference

The rescue of the lzr1 mutant eye phenotype by lzmF4 does not occur if the flies also carry aopACT.GMR; most ommatidial structure is lost in these flies. lzr1/+ ; Ras85DN17.hs.2sev/+ flies have a rough eye phenotype.

Comments

The smooth eye phenotype of lzr1 is not complemented by lz77a7.

Expression of lzhs.PD using heat shock during the third larval instar or early pupal stage in a lzr1 background rescues the number of sensilla trichoidea on the antenna to wild-type. Sensilla basiconica on the antenna are not specified in these animals.

lzGMR.PD rescues the external eye phenotype of lzr1, the ommatidial lattice is restored. Photoreceptor cell defect is also rescued.
