      Nature of the lesion
      Statement
      Reference
      Nucleotides 1946-1948 (ATG), part of codons 649-650 of wild-type p are substituted by TT, resulting in a frameshift. The mutated gene encodes residues 1-648 of p, followed by an unrelated segment of 39 amino acids and an early termination codon.

      Eye colour: abnormal with reduced levels of red and brown pigment (20 and 15% of wild-type levels respectively).
      Eye colour: dull ruby.
      pp males that are also mutant for mle4 show darker eye pigmentation with respect their mle4/+ sibs.
      Eye colour: lighter and more orange than p1.
       
      Color autonomous in pp optic disk allowed to undergo metamorphosis in a wild-type host.
      9% normal red and 15% normal brown pigment.

      Eye colour: brownish, with pp/+, wbf/+. Eye colour: brownish, with pp/+, wh/+.
      Eye colour: g[2]; p[p] eyes are lighter and have significantly reduced levels of red pigment compared to either single mutant. The brown pigment levels are comparable to those seen in p[p] single mutants. or[49h]; p[p] double mutants also have reduced levels of red pigment but similar levels of brown pigment to p[p] single mutants. Eye colour: car[1]; p[p] eyes are lighter than either single mutant. The levels of red pigment in the double mutants is comparable to that in car[1] single mutant eyes and the level of brown pigment is comparable to p[p] single mutant eyes. Eye colour: ltd[1]; p[p] eyes are relatively lighter than those of either single mutants.
