Antiparallel Transpac insertion into intron 5.
wco adults exhibit decreased short term memory in one-trail olfactory associative learning protocol.
Homozygotes have dull red eyes with 26% red pigment (compared to 100% pigment in wild type).
Eye colour: deep ruby in male, darkening to g-like; lighter in female. Malpighian tubule colour: pale yellow.
wco has abnormal eye color | recessive phenotype, suppressible by Rga[+]/Rga03834
wco has abnormal eye color | recessive phenotype, suppressible by Low1
wco/we(g) is an enhancer of abnormal eye color phenotype of g50e
wco/we(g) is an enhancer of abnormal eye color phenotype of g53d
wco/we(g) is an enhancer of abnormal eye color phenotype of g2
wco has pigment cell phenotype, suppressible by Rga[+]/Rga03834
wco has pigment cell phenotype, suppressible by Low1
wco/we(g) is an enhancer of pigment cell phenotype of g2
wco/we(g) is an enhancer of pigment cell phenotype of g50e
wco/we(g) is an enhancer of pigment cell phenotype of g53d
Flies with a wco/we(g) mutant genotype enhance the eye colour defective phenotype of g2, g50e and g53d homozygous mutants leading to a greater reduction of red pigment in the eye. Male wco, g53d double mutant flies have lower levels of pigment in the eye than wco single mutants, leading to a change in eye colour from dull red to faint yellow.
Eye colour: yellow, with st1.
