Rough eye phenotype.
Homozygotes exhibit extra outer photoreceptor cells, the recruitment as neurons of the mystery cells. Ommatidia also exhibit extra cone and primary pigment cells, independent of the number of receptor cells.
Partial rescue of tracheal migration defect in btl homozygotes.
In a sev- background, flies have rough eyes. Similar to sevS11.T:Hsap\MYC : transformation of mystery and cone cells into R7. Stronger effect than for sev::tor12D.hs.sev. Phenotype shows cold sensitivity. Phenotype shown to act through sev kinase, compare to sev::tor13D:K2242M.hs.sev.
sev::tor13D.hs.sev has phenotype, suppressible by Sos34Ea-6
sev::tor13D.hs.sev has photoreceptor cell R7 phenotype, suppressible by drkR1
sev::tor13D.hs.sev has eye phenotype, non-suppressible by ebiE90
sev::tor13D.hs.sev is a suppressor of wing vein L4 phenotype of Egfrf3/Egfrt2
sev::tor13D.hs.sev, sev14 has ommatidium phenotype
Egfrf3/Egfrt2 wings have a gap in L4 wing vein. Vein gap can be rescued by one copy of sev::tor13D.hs.sev. Ectopic expression also causes extra vein phenotype, notably around the distal end of L2 and broadening or deltas at the distal tips of most of the veins.
In a sev14 background, flies carrying one copy of sev::tor13D.hs.sev have rough eyes with 99% of the ommatidia having multiple R7 cells. Number of R7 cells per ommatidium is 3.8 +/- 1.0 (n=128). sev::tor13D.hs.sev; drkR1/+ flies have 33% of ommatidia with multiple R7 cells as opposed to 99% for sev::tor13D.hs.sev flies.
Used to study effects of constitutive activation of sev using tor sequences from gain of function tor alleles.
