wing & chaeta | somatic clone
Homozygous clones in the retina show inversions and misorientations of ommatidia with cell non-autonomous defects at the border of the clone.
ftk07918 mutants show planar cell polarity defects in the wings that extend distal to the posterior crossvein. The wings are foreshortened along the proximodistal axis of the wing blade as the anterior and posterior crossveins are abnormally close.
The average number of crystal cells per embryo is reduced (to 16) in homozygous stage 13-14 embryos compared to wild type (36 +/- 2.2 cells on average).
Homozygous ftk07918 larvae show a small delay (1-2 days) to pupariation, and 60% of pupae reach pharate stages. Wing discs have a higher density
(1.2 times) than seen i wild-type. The pharate adults show abnormalities
in cuticular patterns and structures in all appendages. The adult
wing of pharates are about 1.5 time the size of wild-type, with a higher
cell number (2.9 times) and a higher trichome density (1.9 times).
The shape of the wing is broad and short, enlarged in the anterior
posterior axis compared with controls. The basal wing region is more
affected than distal regions, with vein abnormalities and abnormal
trichome polarity. The chaetae pattern of the wing margin and the
position of the vein sensillae are fairly normal, although chaetae
are blunter and thicker. Some apoptotic cells are seen in the wing
blade.
Somatic wing clones of homozygous ftk07918 in a M(2)24F1 background
tend to fill one or several intervein sectors but a fraction do cross
the dorsal ventral boundary. The clones tend to fill proximal regions
of the wing. The distal borders of clones are rounded, and are smooth
in contrast with the indented borders found in control clones. In
all of these features ftk07918 and ftG-rv are more extreme
than ft4. Clones can also cause outgrowths in the wing, generally
in the proximal part of the wing blade. There are blisters that evaginate
from the wing surface and have irregular trichome polarities, usually
perpendicular to the clone border. Trichome density in clones is higher
than wild-type clones - about 2.2 times that of wild-type, indicating
that cell size is smaller than wild-type. Mutant clones that overlap
veins differentiate thicker than normal vein ribbons. Chaetae within
clones are smaller and blunter than wild-type.
Somatic clones in the notum (of homozygous ftk07918 in a M(2)24F1
background) are large, with more cells than control clones, leading
to an increase in the total notum surface. They contain many more
chaetae (1.7 times wild-type) and higher cell density (1.4 times).
Similar deviations occur in the legs and head capsule. tergite clones
however show normal patterns of pigment chaetae and trichomes.
ftk07918/ftk07918 somatic clones in the wing, in a rhove-1/vn1
background cover smaller territories than clones in wild-type. The
clones appear in central and proximal regions of the wing blade, but
distalise more than control ftk07918 clones. Clones may
cover presumptive vein regions but never fail to differentiate vein
histotype.
ftk07918/ftk07918 somatic clones in the wing, in a Egfrt1
background are smaller than clones in a wild-type background. ftk07918/ftk07918
somatic clones in the wing, in a Egfr background show more cells
than twin clones.
ftk07918/ftk07918 somatic clones in the wing, in a N55e11/+
or a NAx-16/+ background do not depart from those in wild-type
wings.
wgNZ/ftk07918 somatic clones exhibit an additive phenotype
of the two alleles.
nub1/ftk07918 somatic clones are small and cause overgrowth,
as in ftk07918 clones, but retain the extreme accommodation phenotype
of nub1.
Su(H)k07904/ftk07918 somatic clones show additive phenotypes.
In ds38k,ftk07918 clones only epistatic effects of ftk07918
are seen.
ftk07918/ft4 and ftk07918/ftG-rv larvae show a delay
in pupariation of 1-2 days and have a maximal disc size similar to
that of ftk07918 homozygotes.
ftk07918,Su(H)k07904 doubly mutant discs show a phenotype intermediate
between ftk07918 and Su(H)k07904 phenotypes.
Mutants show lethal overgrowth of the brain and imaginal discs.
Mutants exhibit visible disc abnormalities: discs are overgrown. Clones induced in wild type discs are abnormal: clones are larger than controls. Clones in the wing cause extra veins and vein thickening.
Lethality occurs during pupal and pharate adult stages. Brain is occasionally larger than wild type. Leg discs develop extra folds, hyperplastic outgrowth.

When ftk07918 somatic clones are made in the wing in a rhoScer\UAS.cdCa or phlScer\UAS.F179 background (driven by Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096) clones are several times larger than ftk07918 clones in a wild-type background. The clones also show a homogeneous distribution in the wing. The polarity defects seen in ftk07918 clones in a wild-type background are not affected. This enhancement of the ftk07918 overgrowth phenotype is also seen when mutant eye and wing discs are made with clones. ftk07918 clones are induced in a dmP0 background at 72+-2h are severely reduced compared to those induced in wild-type. When ftk07918 clones are induced in a tkv1 background the size and allocation of clones is unaffected.
aprK568, ftk07918 double homozygotes are lethal (L1-2 phenoeffective phase). The double mutant combination nub2, ftk07918 causes a strong delay in pupation, allowing the wing discs to be considerably enlarged. These discs are larger than seen in ftk07918 alone. The addition of EgfrE3, EgfrE3, vn1 or rhove-1 has no effect on the ftk07918 wing disc phenotype.
Separable from: P{lacW}GlyPk07918. The overgrowth phenotype and lethality of ftk07918 are due to a second site mutation on the "l(2)k07918" chromosome and are not associated with the P{lacW}GlyPk07918 insertion.
Induced with: P{lacW}GlyPk07918.
This allele was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was discarded from the gene disruption project prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock. Further information is available from http://www.fruitfly.org/bfd/ and from Dr. Spradling (spradling@mail1.ciwemb.edu).
Lethality not caused by P{lacW}GlyPk07918.
P-element excision demonstrates the insertion to be the cause of lethality.
