Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Heterozygotes have a mild bristle loss phenotype.

Clones fail to differentiate epidermis. Microchaetes are densely packed and adjacent to one another. Macrochaetes are present as dense tufts of abnormal bristles.

Clonal analysis revealed that the gro mutant bristle tufting phenotype is epistatic to the H null bristle loss phenotype.

In clones in the wing, the phenotype depends on where the clone lies. In the anterior compartment all clones abutting the wing margin cause local overgrowth and pattern duplications. Those abutting the wing margin and restricted to dorsal or ventral surfaces cause overgrowth of both dorsal and ventral cells. Clones at the wing margin cause loss of sensory organs and mild scalloping of the margin.

Heterozygotes that are also heterozygous for groBFP2 have eye defects that are similar but not identical to groBFP2 homozygotes. Homozygous mutant clones in the eye show ommatidial defects, often having extra photoreceptors.

More than expected 25% of embryos from groE73/+ mothers die, revealing the dominant maternal effect.

Weak neurogenic phenotype.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

groE73 dominantly enhances the bristle defects seen in HE31/+ flies. Both the shaft-to-socket and bristle loss phenotypes are enhanced.

The severity of cuticle defects seen in eve1 embryos is increased if the mother is also heterozygous for groE73. The defects are pair rule in nature.

Flies hemizygous for sno71e3 and heterozygous for groE73 suffer lethality with a few escapers that show an eye roughening phenotype.

When heterozygous with Nnd-1 or Nnd-2 causes a severe wing material loss phenotype.
