Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

fy2 homozygous adults show hair polarity defects in abdominal bristles.

Wing hairs in the C region and E region of the wing point in a posterior direction. fy6/fy2 wings show a weak polarity phenotype with occasional multiple wing hairs.

Hemizygous flies show an altered pattern of hair orientation on the wings. The phenotype is significantly stronger at 18oC than at 29oC. Hair polarity of homozygous clones in the wing resembles that seen in the wings of homozygous mutant flies, except near the borders of the clone, where the polarity is intermediate between mutant and wild-type. fy2/fy5 and fy2/fy6 flies have a stronger phenotype than fy5 and fy6 hemizygotes respectively, suggesting that fy2 shows some antimorphic character in combination with hypomorphic alleles.

Many wing cells of homozygous flies form two or three hairs. Homozygous flies have disruptions in the pattern of wing hair polarity. The prehair initiation site is along the cell periphery, but not restricted to the distal vertex in pupal wing cells. Double mutants of fy2 with fz1, dsh1 or pk1 resemble fy2 single mutants. Double mutants of fy2 with mwh1 resemble mwh1 single mutants.

Rank: RK1 Macrochaetae are somewhat disarranged. Microchaetae on the thorax point towards the midline. Microchaetae on the wing margin stand out and are slightly irregular. The phenotype resembles in and fz mutants.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

fy2;fz1 double mutant adults as well as fy2 mutants expressing dsHMS00759 under the control of the Scer\GAL4ptc.PU driver display hair polarity defects in abdominal bristles that are similarly severe as in fy2 single mutants. fy2/inIH56 double mutants show abdominal bristle polarity phenotype that is comparable to each of the single mutants.

Heterozygosity significantly enhances the multiple hair cell phenotype of Scer\GAL4en.PU cmbScer\UAS.RA wings.

Over-expression of stan by Scer\GAL4bi-md653 induces an increase in the number of multiple wing hairs in fy6/fy2 wings. The multiple hair cell phenotype of dshScer\UAS.cAa expressed from Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 is additive with the multiple hair phenotypes of fy2 and inIH56.
