Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

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.

ft1/ftG-rv transheterozygotes are short lived as compared to controls.

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.

In comparison to a pk30 homozygote, ft1, pk30 mutant wing hair polarity is more distal in both the anterior and in the distal posterior regions.

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).

fjd1; ft1 double homozygotes have a much more severe wing shortening phenotype than either single mutant. The distance between anterior and posterior crossveins in the wings of these flies is reduced to almost zero. The wing shortening phenotype of fjd1 homozygotes is also enhanced by ft1/+.

The short lived phenotype of ft1/ftG-rv transheterozygotes is enhanced by Gug11 heterozygosity. ft1/ftchance, Gug11/+ adults are also short lived.
