Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

spiSCP2/spi1 hypomorphic females lay eggs that show a significant loss of the most dorsal tissue. Germline clones reveal no requirement for spi in the oocyte in patterning the egg, or in the viability or patterning of the embryo.

73% homozygotes are viable. Homozygotes exhibit a rough eye phenotype, ommatidia have variable and reduced numbers of rhabdomeres and defects in the retinal basement membrane (cells with rhabdomeres appear below the retina). Hemizygotes exhibit enhanced rough eye phenotype and reduced viability.

Comments

Animals heterozygous for spiSCP2 and spi1, spi2 or spi3 which have been rescued by spiScer\UAS.cSa with Scer\GAL4hs.PB to the third instar stage show relatively normal ommatidial development at the posterior of the eye imaginal disc. More anterior columns of ommatidia have reduced photoreceptors. In the lamina, retinal projections appeared normal but LPCs show no neuronal differentiation. This phenotype is rescued by the introduction of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF or in clones induced to produce Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PP.

spis.sev can rescue the eye specific mutation.
