roo element inserted in the 3' intergenic region downstream of L. This roo{}L-2 insertion contains a number of sequence alterations (622bp duplication, 5bp deletion, a nucleotide change that results in the formation of an ATG) compared to roo{}Mohr (an insertion found in a number of dominant L mutant alleles isolated around 1920, and also in the ft1 chromosome isolated during the same time period), and probably arose by alteration of it. Reversion analysis suggests that the roo{}L-2 insertion is largely responsible for the dominant L2 eye phenotype. The chromosome also carries a number of other natural transposon insertions in the L region (jockey{}Mohr and opus{}Mohr), however these insertions are found in a number of dominant L mutant alleles isolated around 1920, and also in the ft1 chromosome isolated during the same time period, suggesting that the additional insertions are probably not related to the dominant L mutant eye phenotype.

L2 heterozygotes exhibit a selective loss of ventral eye in the larval eye imaginal disc and adult eye.
Heterozygotes show loss of almost all ventral ommatidia; apart from a few cells along the ventral eye margin, nearly all ommatidia in L2/+ flies are dorsal in fate. This loss of ventral eye pattern is also seen in heterozygous eye discs.
Heterozygotes have a nick near the anterior midline of the eye and the overall size of the eye is reduced.
L2 flies do not differ from wild type in speed of development.

Increasing levels of hth in L2 heterozygotes through expression of hthScer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH enhances the ventral eye loss to a 'no eye' phenotype. This loss of eye fate is due to an eye-to-cuticle fate change. There is no effect on the antennal field.
A hthdtl-S142204 heterozygous background partially suppresses the loss-of-ventral eye phenotype found in L2/+ mutants.
Loss-of-function L2 heterozygous eye clones in a hth100-1 or hthMeis1-P2 heterozygous background results in a complete loss-of-ventral eye phenotype, as seen in L2 eye clones.
exd1/+; L2/+ double heterozygous mutants exhibit the same loss-of-ventral-eye phenotype as L2/+ mutants.
Over-expression of exdScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH in a L2 heterozygous background does not affect the loss-of-ventral-eye phenotype found in L2/+ mutants.
Expression of p53Scer\UAS.Ex under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH does not enhance the L2/+ mutant phenotype of ventral eye loss. Further, expression of the dominant negative p53259H.GUS transgene, under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH, does not suppress the L2/+ phenotype.
Expression of Diap1Scer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in a partial suppression of the L2/+ phenotype. 27% of rescued flies have eyes that are more than three-quarters of the wild-type size and a range of intermediate and weaker rescues are observable in the other 73%.
L2/+; Df(3L)H99/+ flies show an almost complete rescue of the L2/+ phenotype in 38% of adult flies.
The L2/+ loss-of-ventral eye phenotype can be rescued by reducing canonical wg signaling components. The ventral eye is restored in L2, wg1/+ double mutants, in which ommatidia in the restored ventral section show correct ventral eye polarity. The temperature sensitive wgl-12 allele can only significantly rescue the L2 ventral eye loss phenotype when larvae are shifted to the restrictive temperature during the second larval instar; shifting to the restrictive temperature during the first or third instar has no effect on the L2 phenotype. Expression of sggS9A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH provides a partial rescue of the ventral eye loss phenotype of L2/+ flies; the suppression is significant in 26% of flies and is weak in the remaining flies, while expression of panΔN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH significantly rescues the ventral eye loss of L2/+ flies in 23% of cases.
Increasing wg signaling leads to an enhancement of the L2/+ loss-of-ventral eye phenotype. Expression of either wgScer\UAS.cAa or armScer\UAS.cUa, under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH, in L2/+ mutants results in a no eye phenotype, while small eyes are observed in all of the single mutants. Expression of dshScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH leads to an enhancement of the ventral eye loss.
Blocking JNK signaling significantly represses the L2/+ loss-of-ventral eye phenotype. Expression of pucScer\UAS.cMa (a JNK down-regulator) under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in rescue of the ventral eye loss of L2/+ mutants in 36% of cases. Expression of the dominant negative bskDN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in rescue of the ventral eye loss of L2/+ mutants in 36% of cases, while 32% of hepr75/+; L2/+ flies show a strong suppression of the ventral eye loss phenotype seen in L2/+ flies. In contrast, increasing JNK signaling enhances the phenotype; expression of bskScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH enhances the loss-of-ventral-eye phenotype to near complete loss in 39% of L2/+ flies, while expression of JraAsp.B.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in a strong enhancement of the L2/+ eye phenotype to a very small eye or no eye in 36% of flies.
*j Free text: Expression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in a partial suppression of the ventral eye loss in L2/+ flies; 40% of rescued flies have ventral eyes that are more than three-quarters of the wild-type size. The remaining 60% of rescued flies show a range of weaker phenotypes than L2/+ eyes.
Coexpression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa and pucScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH rescues the ventral eye loss of L2/+ flies to a near wild-type eye in 69% of flies and pharate adults; this is a much greater suppression than that seen when either transgene is expressed without the other.
sgg1/+ ; L2/+ flies show complete elimination of the eye field in 15% of cases. L2/+ ; hhbar3/hhbar3 and L2/Df(2L)BSC7 flies show complete elimination of the eye. L2/+ pharate adults expressing EP1350EP1350 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH have a no eye phenotype, but the antennal field is not affected. B1/+ ; L2/+ animals have a no eye phenotype. Only 41% of L2/+ animals expressing pnrD4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH eclose, and these animals have greatly reduced heads with no eyes, but normal antennae. Only 41% of L2/+ animals expressing pnrD4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH eclose, and these animals have greatly reduced heads with no eyes, but normal antennae. L2/+ increases the frequency of the no-eye phenotype seen in discs of animals expressing ushScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH at 29oC throughout development from 80% to nearly 98% and the animals fail to eclose. The L2/+ phenotype of ventral eye loss is unaffected if expression of ushScer\UAS.cFa is driven by Scer\GAL4ey.PH at 29oC from embryogenesis until the end of the first larval instar, or by Scer\GAL4ey.PH at 29oC from during the third larval instar. However, if ushScer\UAS.cFa expression is driven by Scer\GAL4ey.PH at 29oC during the second larval instar, the L2/+ ventral eye phenotype is significantly rescued.
Misexpression of en::hthR.1-430.Scer\UAS in L2 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH mutants causes a significant suppression of the loss-of-ventral eye phenotype in the larval eye imaginal disc and the adult eye.
Expression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in a partial suppression of the ventral eye loss in L2/+ flies; 40% of rescued flies have ventral eyes that are more than three-quarters of the wild-type size. The remaining 60% of rescued flies show a range of weaker phenotypes than L2/+ eyes.
