lthdS1A/lt11 flies have 60% wild-type viability.
Reduced eye and Malpighian tubule cell pigmentation, variable crumpled wings and missing bristles. Moderate position effect variegation is seen with lt rearrangements.
Hemizygotes die at late pupal stages.

Statement
Reference
Eye pigmentation in lt11/lt1 flies is reduced if the flies are also carrying E(Pc)unspecified/Su(var)2051, E(Pc)unspecified/Su(var)208unspecified, Su(var)208unspecified/Su(var)2051, Su(var)208unspecified/Su(var)2-11, Su(var)2-1v9/Su(var)2-11 or Su(var)2-1v9/Su(var)208unspecified. Eye pigmentation in lt11/+ flies that are also carrying E(Pc)unspecified/Su(var)208unspecified or Su(var)2-1v9/Su(var)208unspecified is reduced. Pigmentation is restored to wild-type levels in these flies by Dp(2;Y)G. XY lt11/lt1; Su(var)2-1v9/Su(var)2-11 males have reduced viability, which is restored in XO males. lt11/lt1; Su(var)2-1v9/Su(var)2051 flies have reduced viability. Viability is partially restored in XO males. lt11/lt1; Su(var)208unspecified/Su(var)2051 flies have reduced viability. Viability is restored in XO males. Eye pigmentation is reduced and viability is essentially wild-type in lt11/+ flies that are also carrying E(Pc)unspecified and E(ltv)319319, E(Pc)unspecified and E(ltv)335335 or Su(var)2-1v9 and E(ltv)319319. Eye pigmentation and viability is reduced in lt11/+ flies that are also carrying Su(var)208unspecified and E(ltv)319319 or Su(var)208unspecified and E(ltv)335335. Eye pigmentation is nearly wild-type and viability is reduced in lt11/+ flies that are also carrying Su(var)2-1v9 and E(ltv)335335.
Eye colour: lt1/lt11 g53d double mutants show a reduction in red eye pigment compared to either lt1/lt11 or g53d single mutants.
