hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
The number of neurons in the dorsal organ ganglion are reduced in mutant embryos compared to wild type. The number of olfactory receptor neurons in the DO ganglion is reduced in the mutant embryos (average number is 12 compared to the wild-type number of 21).
Mutant embryos lack two dorsal sensory neurons per segment, including the dorsal bipolar dendritic neuron. Adults are viable as homozygotes and hemizygotes. In amos1/Df(2L)M36F-S6 animals the third segment of the antenna is reduced because of missing basiconica and trichodea. In the pupal antennal imaginal disc of mutant animals, the first and second waves of sensory organ precursor formation appear to occur normally, but the third phase fails to occur.

Statement
Reference
amos1 ; ato1 double mutant embryos show a complete lack of olfactory receptor neurons in the dorsal organ ganglion.
When amos1 clones are made in ato1 animals the clone patch contains no sense organs except bristles.
