ScoxEY05333 homozygous mutant clones in the eye have normal morphology at 1 day old and then show light-dependent retinal degeneration (at 10 days old, including loss of rhabdomeres), and ERG recordings show slow termination of the light response compared to wild type; precise excision of the ScoxEY05333 P-element rescues the phenotype.
ScoxSH1783/ScoxEY05333 trans-heterozygotes and ScoxEY05333/Df(2L)Exel7021 hemizygotes show developmental arrest at the start of the second larval instar. Many larvae survive about 15 days after hatching but appear severely dehydrated and their motility is extremely reduced.
ScoxEY05333/ScoxSH1783 is rescued by Scox+t1.5
A single copy of Scox+t1.5 rescues the lethality associated with ScoxEY05333/ScoxSH1783.
Separable from: an independent lethal mutation.
