Nucleotide substitution: C2466T.
Escapers of lethality show a disorganized eye phenotype. Majority of ommatidia have extra R7 cells, generated by transformation of cone cells. Some of the extra photoreceptors resemble outer (R1-R6) photoreceptor neurons. Mystery cells assume R3/R4 fates. In heterozygous condition, 1-7% of ommatidia show an extra R7 cell or an occasional gain or loss of an outer photoreceptor cell.
Pupal lethal when hemizygous. The number of tracheal branches emanating from the dorsal and ganglionic branches is higher than normal in homozygous embryos.
styF7 is an enhancer of abnormal cell polarity phenotype of fz20/fz19
styF7 is a suppressor of abnormal cell polarity phenotype of Ras64BV14.Act5C
styF7 has photoreceptor cell R7 | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by Ras85DN17.hs.2sev
styF7 is an enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of fz20/fz19
styF7 is a suppressor of ommatidium phenotype of Ras64BV14.Act5C
The addition of styF7/+ enhances the eye cell polarity phenotype seen in fz19/fz20 animals. Heterozygotes suppress the ommatidial polarity defects seen in Ras64BV14.Act5C.
The extra R7 cells of styF7 are suppressed in ommatidia also mutant for Ras85DN17.hs.2sev.
Selected as: Dominant suppressor of the rough eye phenotype caused by ectopic expression of svp in photoreceptors R2 and R5.
Amorph or strong hypomorph.
