Construct: Replacement Arginine for Histidine and Tyrosine for Histidine, unknown positions.
At 23oC some ommatidia lack the R7 rhabdomere.
At 22.7oC the reduced corneal pseudopupils of flies are wild type, at 24.3oC the reduced corneal pseudopupil is lacking the R7 cell.
sevB4 has phenotype, enhanceable by E(sev)3De0Q
sevB4 has photoreceptor cell R7 phenotype, enhanceable by drke0A
In the presence of drkE(sev)2B nearly all of the sevB4 ommatidia lack the R7 cell. The presence of P{sev-drk} restores an R7 cell to most ommatidia.
