4kb insertion in g.
Eye colour: red pigments are reduced to 45 +/- 1% of wild-type levels, brown pigments are reduced to 70 +/- 8% of wild-type levels in females. Red pigments are reduced to 50 +/- 3% of wild-type levels, brown pigments are reduced to 52 +/- 5% of wild-type levels in males. Malpighian tubule colour: colourless (wild-type colour is orange). Testis colour: yellow (wild-type colour is bright yellow).
Eyes exhibit pigmentation defects and reduced number of pigment granules.
Eye colour: dull brownish. Flies have reduced pigmentation throughout the body; pigment granules are still visible in the ommatidia but contain less pigment than wild-type.
Df(1)HA92/g3 has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by w[+]/we(g)
g3 has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/+
g3 has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/we(g)
g3 has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by we(g)
Df(1)HA92/g3 has pigment cell phenotype, enhanceable by w[+]/we(g)
g3 has pigment cell phenotype, enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/+
g3 has pigment cell phenotype, enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/we(g)
g3 has pigment cell phenotype, enhanceable by we(g)/we(g)
g3, we(g) double mutant flies have significantly lower levels of red pigment in their eyes than g3 single mutants. Likewise, Df(1)HA92/g3, we(g)/+ mutants have lower levels of red pigment in the eye than Df(1)HA92/g3 single mutants. Further, g3, Df(1)N-8/+ double mutant flies have less red pigment in their eyes than the g3, we(g) double mutants, while g3, Df(1)N-8/we(g) flies have the least pigment of the mutant combinations described here.
