Detailed Description

Egfrf11/Egfrt1 flies show mild planar cell polarity defects in the eye.

In Egfrf11/Egfrt1 adults, wings lack the anterior cross-vein and a segment of L4.

Egfrt1/Egfrf11 flies have a rough eye phenotype, a gap in wing vein L4 and the anterior crossvein is missing.

Heterozygotes of Egfrt1 with Egfrf11 produce eggs with fused dorsal appendages. Larvae hatch from the eggs, with dorsal-ventral pattern unperturbed.

Loss of Egfr function reduces the number of glial cells in stage 12 embryos and in later embryos these cells die.

Clonal analysis in eye, antenna, wing and leg discs suggests that Egfr- cells do not proliferate as well as wild type. Egfr cells in the eye disc are unable to differentiate as photoreceptor cells, and cells lacking Egfr function can perturb the developmental fate of their neighbors.

Suppresses the "Ellipse" phenotype.

The viability of homozygous clones in the wing is very low. Homozygous clones in the legs, notum and head seem to be inviable. Homozygous clones in the abdominal tergites are viable. Wild-type chaetae are clustered immediately adjacent to or included within these clones and there is a depletion of chaetae around the clones for several cell diameters.

Homozygotes and hemizygotes display a severe 'flb' phenotype. Embryos produced from heteroallelic combination with Egfrt1 have a severe ventralised phenotype, reduction in size of their dorsal appendage.

Statement
Reference

The planar cell polarity defects seen in Egfrf11/Egfrt1 eyes are partially suppressed by fz21/+ or fz23/+.

The loss of anterior cross-vein and L4 gap seen in Egfrf11/Egfrt1 wings are partially rescue by ash2I1/+.

Only R8 photoreceptor cells differentiate in Egfrf11 clones which are also expressing BacA\p35GMR.PH. Some mutant cells differentiate small photoreceptor rhabdomeres; most cells resemble pigment cells morphologically, but contain little pigment.

The Egfrt1/Egfrf11 phenotypes are dominantly suppressed by styS73 or styS88.

Egfrf11 significantly suppresses the formation of extra outer photoreceptors caused by B-H1sev.PH, although it does not affect the loss of R7 cell phenotype caused by B-H1sev.PH.

Suppressor of the dosage-dependent (two or more copies of P{sev-svp1} or P{sev-svp2}) transformation of cone cells into R7 photoreceptors and at a lower frequency R7 cells into outer photoreceptors.

Double mutants of rl1 and Egfrf11 show disruption of the longitudinal vein L4.

Double mutant combinations of Egfrt1/Egfrf11 with rhounspecified/rhounspecified, vnunspecified/vnunspecified, ciunspecified/ciunspecified, astunspecified/astunspecified, tt1/tt1, Vnounspecified/+, H2/+, vvlunspecified/+ or NAx-M1/+ have a superadditive phenotype. Double mutant combinations of Egfrt1/Egfrf11 with kn1/kn1 or netunspecified/netunspecified show mutual suppression, with both the Egfr and vein phenotypes being normalised. Egfrt1/Egfrf11 shows a negative interaction in combination with either DlM1/+ or tkvunspecified/tkvunspecified. Egfrt1/Egfrf11 shows a simple additive phenotype with dppunspecified/dppunspecified, kniunspecified/kniunspecified, tg2/tg2, cv-2unspecified/cv-2unspecified and N55e11/+. E(spl)rv1 grounspecified Egfrt1/Egfrf11 flies show a simple additive phenotype.
