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.
A reduced subretinal pigment layer is still present in th eyes of mutant flies.
Bright red eyes, colourless ocelli.
cnunspecified has abnormal eye color phenotype, non-enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/we(g)
bur1, cnunspecified has abnormal eye color phenotype
cnunspecified has pigment cell phenotype, non-enhanceable by Df(1)N-8/we(g)
Pigment is absent from the entire eye, including the subretinal region, in bwunspecified bwunspecified double mutants.
There is little difference in the amount of red pigment in the eye of cnunspecified/cnunspecified; we(g)/Df(1)N-8 and cnunspecified single mutants.
Produces a brilliant orange eye colour in combination with bur1.
The distribution of ry protein in the tissues of the adult fly is altered in this mutant.
