FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.
prunspecified homozygous female mutants have 37% red pigment in the eye compared to 100% in wild-type flies.
In prunspecified males that are also mutant for mle4, the eyes are darker than for their mle4/+ sibs.
Purple eyes.
prunspecified has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/we(g)
prunspecified has pigment cell phenotype, enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/we(g)
Female prunspecified/prunspecified; we(g)/Df(1)N-8 double mutant flies have reduced levels of red pigment in the eye compared to prunspecified single mutants.
ry protein levels are normal in the eyes of this mutant.
