      Statement
      Reference
      Mild allele. Slightly less extreme than gl1. Eyes reduced to two-thirds normal size, ovoid, glassier and smoother than gl1. Eye colour: blotchy scarlet in both sexes with rim and eroded patches of colorless material. Ocellus colour: colorless and papillose.
       
      Malpighian tubule colour: wild-type.
      Cephalic complex smaller than wild type at 36 hr after hatching (27oC); growth rate subsequently normal.
      Cephalic complex smaller than wild type at 36 hr after hatching (27oC); growth rate subsequently normal.
      Bolwig's nerves are absent in third larval instar. In place of the normal Bolwig's organ is a loosely clustered group of abnormal neurons with random axonal projections.
      Despite the absence of Bolwig's nerve, bsh expression is normal.
      Displays locomotor activity rhythm with an approximately 24h period.
      Homozygous third instar larvae show a normal response to UVC radiation. e4 gl2 mutant larvae show an abnormal response to UVC radiation.
      Homozygous larvae disperse randomly among illuminated and dark quadrants of a petri plate in a visual assay (as do wild-type larvae).
      The precursors of the corpus cardiacum and Bolwig's organ are reduced in number in stage 12 mutant embryos (this phenotype is a dominant effect). At stage 16, the corpus cardiacum is missing in mutant embryos, although the corpus allatum and stomatogastric nervous system are normal.
      Mutant flies maintain a high level of activity in an open field arena over the full 10-minute assay (wild-type flies show a decay in locomotor activity over time in this assay).
