    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    In a w+ background the Wow homozygotes have a discernibly visible reduction in eye pigmentation, which is nevertheless still near the wild type colour. Wow increases pigment levels in the Malpighian tubules and testes. This increase is more marked for Wow homozygotes than for Wow heterozygotes. The wings of Wow mutant homozygotes are reduced and sometimes do not fully expand. Males and females are sterile. In some backgrounds mutants are only semi-viable, with the semi-lethality being more pronounced for males than females.

    Additional Comments
    Genetic Interactions
    Statement
    Reference

    The effect of Inr-aEMS2 is epistatic to that of Wowγb and MowEMS. Low1 and Wowγb mutually suppress the effect of the other.

    In the presence of wa the eye color is reduced to that found in a female homozygous for a w deficiency. In the Wow mutant homozygotes the wa allele is reduced further to an almost w phenotype.
