Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygotes have 50% red pigment in the eye compared to 100% in wild-type flies. Df(1)HA92/gP flies have lower levels of red pigment in the eye than gP homozygotes.

Eye colour: red pigments are reduced to 50 +/- 5% of wild-type levels in males. Testis colour: pale yellow (wild-type colour is bright yellow).

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Unlike most g alleles, gP, we(g) double mutants do not have reduced levels of red pigment in the eye compared to gP single mutants. However, Df(1)HA92/gP, we(g)/+ mutants do have lower levels of red pigment in the eye than Df(1)HA92/gP single mutants. gP, Df(1)N-8/+ double mutant flies have still less red pigment in their eyes than the Df(1)HA92/gP, we(g)/+ mutants, while gP, Df(1)N-8/we(g) flies have the least pigment of the mutant combinations described here. In contrast to g53d homozygotes, gP/g53d transheterozygotes do interact with we(g), as gP/g53d, we(g) and gP/g53d, we(g)/+ flies have a reduced amount of red pigment in the eye compared to gP, we(g) double mutant flies. gP, Df(1)N-8/+ flies have less red pigment in their eyes than gP single mutant flies; g2, Df(1)N-8/we(g) flies have even less red pigment than gP, Df(1)N-8/+ flies.
