In msi1/Df(3R)Exel6203 adults, thoracic mechanosensory neurons exhibit decreased connectivity: frequently terminal synaptic arborizations are lost and presynapse number is decreased; frequently the primary axon branch fails to reach the contralateral side of the CNS and is arrested at the midline/on the ipsilateral side; or frequently, the contralateral branch is missing; however, there are ectopic presynapses in the posterior branch. Branch and synapse patterning are also affected at early stages of axon targeting during pupal development: frequently, the contralateral branch is missing; frequently there are ectopic presynapses in the posterior branch; at 45-55h apf, filopodial protrusions sprout when the primary branch projects toward the contralateral side; at 65-75h apf, however, the contralateral branch almost lacks both satellite growth cones and the filopodial protrusions.
In msi1/Df(3R)Exel6203 adults, the axons of or10a-expressing ORNs mistarget to the VA7m glomerulus.
msi1 homozygous or10a ORN clones in a mostly heterozygous adult mistarget to the VA7m glomerulus.
msi1 and msi1/msi2 mutant testes exhibit fewer brightly stained cells at the apex of the testis, indicative of a loss of early germ cells. msi1 mutant testis also exhibit a swelling of the apical region in ~90% of testes analyzed.
msi1 mutant third-instar larvae exhibit a hub in 97% of testes analysed and exhibit milder morphological defects than those observed in pharate adults.
In msi1 mutants, there are on average 3.9 germ stem cells per testis, compared to 8.4 per testis in wild-type.
Germline stem cell clones homozygous for msi1 are found at the same frequency as control clones 2 days after clone induction. Although wild-type clones are maintained at similar levels over time, msi1 stem cell clones are not maintained at the same frequency. At 8 days after induction, msi1 mutant clones are observed significantly less frequently than control wild-type germ line stem cells of the same age.
msi1 spermatogonia clones are found in 47% of testes 5 days after clone induction, this is a similar number to that found in control clones.
Acridine orange staining does not reveal the presence of any excess dying cells in msi1 mutant clones. In 15% of cases, msi1 spermatogonial clones are found 8 days after induction in the absence of msi1 germline stem cells, indicating that msi1 germline stem cells can differentiate into spermatogonial cells without regeneration of germline stem cells.
In msi1 mutants, early round spermatids commonly contain two or four nuclei and a large mitochondrial derivative, indicating that one or both meiotic cytokinetic divisions have failed. These mutants often display haploid nuclei of different sizes, resulting from errors in chromosome segregation during meiosis.
Mutants show a double bristle phenotype.
Homozygotes show a low penetrance phenotype of abnormal ommatidia with deformed rhabdomeres and abnormal ommatidial orientation. The number of photoreceptor cells is normal, in affected ommatidia.
Lethality occurs during late pupal and early adult stages. The total number of sensilla is similar to wild type but the number of outer support cells (sockets and shafts) is variable. Microchaetae on the notum have variable phenotypes, some having up to 4 sockets and no shaft. The presence of extra support cells is correlated to the absence of neurons. Macrochaetae also display variability, the most frequent phenotype is two shafts and one socket. Macrochaetae with additional support cells frequently had one or more neurons but did not typically contain glial cells. Anterior wing margin has extra support cells in the singly innervated bristles and multiple innervated bristles and extra outer support cells in the twin campaniform sensilla.

Dominantly enhances the Df(1)N-54l9/+ and N55e11/+ wing nicking phenotypes.
NECN.Scer\UAS (Scer\GAL4sca-109-68), msi1 double mutants show a dense double bristle phenotype. The IIb precursor takes the non-neuronal fate as there are no neurons in the subepidermal layer.
Double mutants of sina2/sina3 with msi1 show a synergistic, not additive, eye phenotype. Ommatidial arrays are disturbed, eyes consequently roughened and ommatidia do not contain more than five rhabdomeres. Cone cell array is disturbed. 30% of the ommatidia of sina2 msi1 ttkosn/sina3 msi1 show the normal number and arrangement of photoreceptor cells. The cone cell defects of sina2 msi1/sina3 msi1 are also suppressed by ttkosn.
