Polytene chromosomes normal.
Homozygote has a very mild leg phenotype: males have a decrease in number of sex comb teeth. Entire arista and distal most portion of AIII are transformed into a distally complete tarsus.
Minor reductions in the tarsal region.
Heterozygotes are wild-type. Homozygotes show a transformation of antenna to leg. Hemizygous embryos but not homozygous embryos lack the Keilin's organs, and sometimes lack the labial sense organ, antennal sense organ and maxillary sense organ.
Homozygotes show partial transformation of antennae to legs as well as deletions of some leg structures. Tarsal tissue, sometimes including claws, develops in place of arista and part of third antennal segment. Third segment usually contains patchwork of incompletely differentiated leg tissue; first and second segments normal. Leg effects distal to mid-tibia; legs proximal to mid-tibia normal. In extreme cases number of tarsal segments reduced to two or three; basitarsus and distal tibia may be missing; in most extreme cases claws may also be missing. In the case of mild expression abnormal bristle patterns, including polarity reversal, occur around basitarsus-tibia joint, where there may also develop cuticular hyperplasia. Penetrance greater in females than males, in antennae than legs and in metathoracic than other legs.
Dll9/Dllmd23 has lethal phenotype, enhanceable by discoRNAi.UAS/Scer\GAL4Dll-md23
Dll9/Dllmd23 has lethal phenotype, suppressible | partially by discoUAS.cDa/Scer\GAL4Dll-md23
Dll9/Dllmd23 has homeotic phenotype, suppressible | partially by discoUAS.cDa/Scer\GAL4Dll-md23
Dll9/Dll[+] is an enhancer of increased cell death phenotype of DrefUAS.cSa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS

Dll9 is a suppressor | partially of lethal phenotype of Nf-YAUAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4ey.PH
Dll9/Dllmd23 has antenna phenotype, suppressible | partially by discoUAS.cDa/Scer\GAL4Dll-md23
Dll9/Dllmd23 has tarsal segment phenotype, suppressible | partially by discoUAS.cDa/Scer\GAL4Dll-md23
Dll9/Dll[+] is an enhancer of eye phenotype of DrefUAS.cSa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS
Dll9 is an enhancer of eye phenotype of BEAF-32UAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS
Scer\GAL4Dll-md23-mediated expression of discoScer\UAS.cDa partially rescues the lethality associated with Dllmd23/Dll9, and nearly completely rescues the antenna and leg phenotypes of this mutant.
Scer\GAL4Dll-md23-mediated expression of discodsRNA.Scer\UAS reduces the number of Dllmd23/Dll9 escapers to nearly zero.
Dll9 flies expressing Nf-YAScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH show 86% viability.
Genetic crossing of the DrefScer\UAS.cSa expressing strain with Dll9 results in a weakly enhanced rough eye phenotype.
The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of BEAF-32Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS is weakly enhanced by Dll9.
Has little or no effect on the phenotype of E2fGMR.PD DpGMR.PD BacA\p35GMR.PH flies.
