Rheb2D1/+ flies have normal wings.
Rheb2D1 mutant clones cause a strong delay in the differentiation of R1/6 photoreceptor cells.
Rheb7A1/Rheb2D1 mutant adult flies have a reduced body weight compared to heterozygous controls.
Lipid and carbohydrate content are not increased in Rheb7A1/Rheb2D1 mutant flies compared to controls.
Rheb2D1/Rheb44.1 mutant adult flies have a reduced body weight compared to heterozygous controls.
Lipid content is increased in Rheb2D1/Rheb44.1 mutant flies compared to controls. Carbohydrate content is similar to controls.
Homozygous Rheb2D1/Rheb44.1 mutant flies exhibit defective electroretinogram (ERG) readings.
Cholinesterase activity is significantly reduced in Rheb2D1/Rheb44.1 mutant flies compared to controls.
Rheb2D1 somatic clones in the wing disc are consistently smaller than their wild-type sister clones. The reduced clone size is accounted for by fewer and smaller cells (n = 10, P = 0.00038 for cell number, P = 0.00126 for cell size) When somatic clones of Rheb2D1 homozygous cells are generated throughout the eye disc using Scer\FLP1ey.PN with Scer\FRT, the resulting flies have small rough eyes.

unkex24, Rheb2D1 mutant eye clones display wild-type differentiation of the R1/6 photoreceptor cells, indicating unk suppresses the strong delay in differentiation exhibited in Rheb mutant clones. In the adult eye, the elliptical and split rhabdomere phenotype seen in unkex24 clones is suppressed in unkex24, Rheb2D1 mutant clones. However, these double mutant clones contain mis-rotated ommatidia and missing photoreceptors.
The small rough eye phenotype see in flies with Rheb2D1 somatic clones throughout the eye disc generated using Scer\FLP1ey.PN and Scer\FRT, is largely suppressed by Pten117/Pten117, but is unaffected by Tsc12G3/Tsc12G3. Rheb2D1/Rheb7A1 suppresses the pupal lethality due to Tsc12X1/Tsc11A2. The resulting animals are smaller than doubly heterozygous controls (Tsc12X1 Rheb2D1/+) at both pupal and adult stages.
