shaV15 is an enhancer of larval abdominal dorsal trichome phenotype of f36a, m1, sn3
sn3, m1, f36a; shaV15 and sn3, m1, f36a; WASp3 quadruple mutants show further impairment to denticle formation compared to sn3, m1, f36a triple mutants, with mutants exhibiting regions of naked cuticle where denticles lie in wild-type animals.
The dorsal hairs on the abdominal segments of sn3, m1, f36a triple mutants are severly reduced in size, and in some cases, hairs are abrogated leaving abnormal naked regions. This phenotype is more severe in sn3, m1, f36a; shaV15 mutants in which most dorsal hairs are absent, leaving naked cuticle.
