leg & macrochaeta
leg & trichome
Causes no embryonic phenotype even when homozygous mutant embryos develop from homozygous mutant mothers. Has a weak polarity phenotype in the wing, notum, abdomen, eye and legs. Denticle belt morphology and denticle orientation remains wild-type.
Sections of pkpk-sple-6 mutant eyes show a disturbed ommatidial polarity within each ommatidium having the normal arrangement of photoreceptor cells.
Rough eyes and weak pk and spiny leg phenotypes.
pk[+]/pkpk-sple-6 is an enhancer of abnormal planar polarity phenotype of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev, dgoUAS.cFa
pk[+]/pkpk-sple-6 is an enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev, dgoUAS.cFa
The planar cell polarity defects seen in the eyes of flies expressing dgoScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev are dominantly enhanced by pkpk-sple-6/+.
