Embryos derived from fafB4/fafB5 females mated to wild-type males show modest ventralisation of the cuticle, with a herniated head, poorly developed Filzkorper and slightly extended ventral cuticles.
Embryos derived from fafB4/fafB6 females mated to wild-type males show ventralisation of the cuticle, with a herniated head, defective Filzkorper and denticle belts that extend throughout the ventral half of the cuticle.
Embryos derived from fafB4/fafFO8 females mated to wild-type males show significant ventralisation of the cuticle, with a herniated head, defective Filzkorper, malformed dorsal cuticle and denticle belts that extend well into the dorsal half of the embryo.
Embryos derived from fafB4/fafBX3 females mated to wild-type males show significant ventralisation of the cuticle, with a herniated head, defective Filzkorper, malformed dorsal cuticle and extended denticle belts.
Mutation has no effect on rhohs.sev rough eye phenotype.
Eyes roughened due to abnormalities in the hexagonal facet array: but only 1% of facets are affected. Females are fertile.
Med8, faf[+]/fafB4 has partially lethal - majority die | dominant | maternal effect phenotype
Med8, faf[+]/fafB4 has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | maternal effect phenotype
