ft1 is a homozygous viable allele that affects wing shape, but not hair polarity. Ridges in distal regions of the posterior part of the mutant wings show an anterior-posterior orientation, in contrast to the normal proximal-distal orientation. Anterior ridges on the ft1 mutant wings retain the normal anterior-posterior orientation.
A small fraction ommatidia in homozygous mutant adults have a reversed dorsal ventral polarity.
Cause minor defects in adult morphology, Changes in body shape and wing vein pattern (Mohr, Studia Mendeliana, pp. 266--287). A viable mutation.
The adult abdomen and thorax is slightly shorter and wider than normal in homozygous flies. Transheterozygous ft1/ftG larvae have overgrown discs and generally die at the pupal stage, with some "exaggerated fat" escapers. ft1 in transheterozygous combination with ftG-rv or ft8 produces viable, "fat" flies.
viable
ftG-rv/ft1 has short lived phenotype, enhanceable by Gug11/Gug[+]
ft1, pk30 has abnormal planar polarity phenotype
ft1, lftTG2 has abnormal planar polarity phenotype
Gug11/Gug[+], ftchance/ft1 has short lived phenotype
ft1, lftTG2 has posterior crossvein phenotype
ft1, lftTG2 has tarsal segment phenotype
ft1, lftTG2 has wing vein L2 phenotype
The distance between the anterior and posterior crossveins is greatly reduced in ft1 lftTG2 double mutants. Additional phenotypes are seen in the double mutant that are not seen in either single mutant; the posterior crossvein is incomplete and the L2 vein is often both incomplete and associated with ectopic vein material.
ft1 lftTG2 double mutants have shorter legs than normal and individual leg segments (including the femur and tibia) are bother shorter and broader than normal (leg growth is only very subtly affected in either single mutant). The legs of the double mutant flies have only four tarsal segments instead of the usual five.
ft1 lftTG2 double mutants have obvious planar cell polarity phenotypes in the wings and legs (in contrast to either single mutant).
