Df(1)KA6/+, Ten-m00844 has interommatidial bristle | increased number phenotype
Df(1)KA6; Ten-m00844 double heterozygotes display interommatidial bristle loss, supernumerary interommatidial bristles, uneven ommatidial size and shape, column disorder, and interommatidial fusions in 21-30% of adults.
Complements: l(3)0050600506.
FlyBase curator comment: FBrf0214744 characterises new loss of function mutations in Ten-m and finds no evidence of a pair-rule segmentation phenotype, in contrast to previous reports. The authors show that the pair-rule phenotype previously reported for a number of Ten-m mutations (Ten-m05309, Df(3L)Ten-m-AL1 and Df(3L)Ten-m-AL29) was in fact due to a mutation present on the balancer in the original stock. The segmentation phenotype described in FBrf0201077, FBrf0073721, FBrf0098973 and FBrf0204395 for Ten-m00844 has thus been removed from the allele report in FlyBase, since it is likely that this phenotype is due to a second-site mutation rather than the mutation in Ten-m.
