Polytene chromosomes normal.
Insertion of a Tirant element within the coding region.
Homozygotes have slightly smaller wings than normal and lack the distal region of wing vein L5.
Mitotic clones in the wing tend to avoid veins.
Heterozygotes lack anterior-medial microchaetae. emcD reduces ASC transcription.
Absence of specific macrochaetae on the notum and reduction of the total number of microchaetae. emcD corrects Hw phenotypes in both ectopic and normal positions.
Wings have plexi between LII and LIII on one side and between LIV and LV on the other. Terminal gaps of LV, thinner veins and broader than normal wings.
Dominant.
RK1 Heterozygotes lack one or both postvertical bristles and often lack other bristles. Wing vein L5 is often incomplete. Homozygotes exhibit missing postvertical bristles and ocellars are absent or strongly reduced, patches of microchaetae and other bristles are often missing.
emcD has phenotype, suppressible by Deltaunspecified
emcD is a suppressor of wing margin phenotype of Scer\GAL4bbg-C96, mam1
emcD/emcD is a suppressor of macrochaeta | ectopic phenotype of amosTft
emcD is a suppressor of phenotype of Deltaunspecified
The wing nicking phenotype caused by expression of mamH.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4bbg-C96 is suppressed if the flies are also carrying emcD.
emcD enhances the loss of wing veins seen in vn1/vnddd-3 flies or Egfrt1/Egfrf37 flies. Egfrt1 homozygotes do not have a wing vein phenotype. Egfrt1 emcD double homozygotes show loss of wing veins. The interactions between emcD and rhove-1/rhove-1 or rhove-1/rho9 are additive. The ectopic wing vein phenotype of EgfrE3/+ flies is slightly suppressed by emcD/emcD. The extra wing vein phenotype of px72 or net1 homozygotes is suppressed by emcD.
