Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

svrugoso-nu/svn flies show loss of hairs.

svn/Df(4)G flies have more severe bristle defects than svn homozygotes. Homozygotes show bristle defects over the entire body surface. The microchaetae and macrochaetae of the notum often have stunted or misshapen shafts. Macrochaetae also occasionally show a double socket phenotype.

svspa-20 strongly enhances the bristle phenotype of svn in transheterozygotes; in the eyes there is nearly complete loss of bristle shafts, and in other parts of the body, loss or reduction of the shafts of microchaetae and macrochaetae is more severe than in svn homozygotes. The bristle phenotype of svn mutants is entirely rescued on the notum, partially rescued in the eye and not rescued on the abdomen by sv2.0.cFa.

Extremely short bristles. Viability excellent. Trichogen irregularly displaced, becoming more or less converted into tormogen (Lees and Waddington, 1943). Polarity of microchaetae in vicinity of double sockets disrupted such that they form a whorl around socket (Toney and Thompson, 1980). In triplo-4 svn/svn/svn, the phenotype is more nearly normal than in diplo-4. RK1. Selective advantage for triplo-4 in stocks of svn results in accumulation.

Comments

The bristle phenotype of svn or svn/svspa-20 mutants is completely rescued by sv6.7.cFa. The bristle phenotype of svn mutants is entirely rescued on the notum and partially rescued in the eye by expression of svhs.PF using heat shock.

The order of severity of the microchaete phenotype is: sv6 = sv7 = sv8 > svde > svn.
