69A2;69D1
In(3L)A54/Df(3L)E44 and In(3L)A54/Df(3L)F10 transheterozygotes recessive phenotypes are seen. These include missing mid-thorax, reduced eyes and aristae, and held-up wings. These recessive phenotypes may reflect effects of the In(3L)A54 69BC inversion breakpoint on gv and eyg. Viability is low with many uneclosed pupae. When dissected, these pupae are headless (except for the presence of palps) or have very reduced heads. They also show the thoracic defects seen in the viable escapers.
Fails to complement Df(3L)E44.
