Mutants show an increase in mean scutellar bristle number and also increased variability in scutellar bristle number compared to wild type.
Mutants show no defects in targeting of the DL1 glomerulus in the antennal lobe.
mir-9aunspecified has scutellar bristle phenotype, suppressible by sensunspecified/sens[+]
mir-9a[+]/mir-9aunspecified is an enhancer of scutellar bristle | heat sensitive phenotype of sc1
The increase in mean scutellar bristle number and increased variability in scutellar bristle number seen in mir-9aunspecified flies are suppressed by sensunspecified/+.
Heterozygosity for mir-9aunspecified results in an increase in mean scutellar bristle number (compared to individuals carrying two wild-type copies of mir-9a) in individuals carrying two copies of either sens+t18.1, sensm1, or sensm2, but no increase occurs in mir-9aunspecified heterozygotes carrying two copies of sensm1m2.
