P{ry11} insertion within 5' flanking sequences.
Mutant adults show a siginifican under-recruitment of photoreceptors in the eye. Misrotation of ommatidia is not seen.
Homozygous ommatidia show a reduction in the number of photoreceptor neurons.
Homozygotes have a rough eye phenotype.
95% homozygotes are viable. Homozygotes exhibit a rough eye phenotype, ommatidia have variable and reduced numbers of rhabdomeres and defects in the retinal basement membrane (cells with rhabdomeres appear below the retina). Hemizygotes exhibit enhanced rough eye phenotype and reduced viability.
spiSCP1/spi[+] is an enhancer of abnormal cell polarity phenotype of S05671
spiSCP1 has eye photoreceptor cell phenotype, enhanceable by edlJV/Df(2R)edl-L19
spiSCP1/spi[+] is an enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of S05671
spiSCP1/spi[+] is an enhancer of photoreceptor phenotype of S05671
The loss of photoreceptor neurons seen in spiSCP1/spiSCP1 animals is enhanced by edlJV/Df(2R)edl-L19.
The rough eye phenotype is partially rescued by argos::spiAS.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev.
spis.sev can rescue the eye specific mutation.
