hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
argos[Δ7]/argos[W11] flies have blisters in the eye. Only 5% of eggs derived from argos[Δ7]/argos[W11] have defects in dorsal appendage morphology, which include a reduced distance between the two appendages and appendages that are shorter than normal.
Heterozygotes show a direct effect on the shape of the wing.
The ectopic wing vein phenotype caused by expression of Socs44A[Scer\UAS.cRa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[en-e16E] is enhanced by argos[W11]/+.
When homozygous mutant clones are made in the eye, although many of the mutant ommatidia have too many photoreceptors, a significant proportion have the correct number. many of these ommatidia are misrotated.
Mutant eye discs show, in addition to the extra R-cell phenotype, severe ommatidial rotation defects, though the initial 45oC rotation seen in wild-type is less affected.
argosW11 enhances the edk01102 phenotype; the number of ommatidia with multiple R8 cells is increased from 21% to 46% in the double mutant flies.
The Cct116919 defective eye phenotype is not significantly enhanced in Cct116919/+, argosW11/+, N55e11/+ triple heterozygotes.
argosW11 enhances the extra wing vein phenotype of EgfrE1/EgfrE3 transheterozygotes, but suppresses the eye phenotype.
argosΔ7/argosW11 hypomorphic females lay a significant proportion of eggs with fused dorsal appendages. Larvae hatch from the eggs, with dorsal-ventral pattern unperturbed.
The number of midline glia cells is increased to an average of 5.1 +/- 0.2 cells per segment in homozygous embryos.
No effect on the faf eye phenotype.
Retinal degeneration in aging flies.
Mutant ommatidia have extra pigment cells.
Reduced viability and rough eye phenotype, including blistering in the posterior region of the eye due to a lawn of undifferentiated cells in the pupal eye. Eyes have abnormal rhabdomere morphology and extra outer photoreceptors. Optic lobes are small and disorganised. Many of the mystery cells start differentiating as neurons and never leave the developing ommatidia. Extra cone cells and an abnormally high number of primary pigment cells are found in the pupal eye. Interommatidial bristle precursors are disorganised though the total number appears to be normal.

Additional Information
Statement
Reference
Enhancer trap expression is observed in the developing photoreceptors and cone cells in the third instar eye imaginal disc. It is first expressed behind the morphogenetic furrow and is switched on at around the same time as the first neural anitgens. Thus expression occurs in the cells in the order in which they differentiate, R8, then R2 and R5, R3 and R4, R1 and R6, R7, and finally cone cells. In pupae, expression is observed in cone cells and in primary pigment cells. In adults expression is observed in cells which are probably cone cells as well as in a subset of cells in the optic lobe and brain. In embryos, expression is first observed in the cellular blastoderm in dorsal regions at the anterior and posterior ends and in the dorsal ectoderm anlage, in a pair-rule pattern. At stage 9, expression occurs in two rows of ectodermal cells bordering the mesectoderm. As the mesectoderm invaginates, the rows meet and expression occurs in the entire ventral ectoderm. In germ band extended embryos, additional expression is seen in the head region and in segmentally repeated groups of ectodermal cells. Expression is observed in dorsal and lateral epidermal cells located at the segment boundary and in all ventral epidermal cells until stage 16. As the germ band retracts, expression is seen in the midline glial cells.
