Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

phyl1/phyl2 animals die at late embryonic or first larval instar stages.

78% of the notal microchaetae and 87% of the microchaetae on abdominal segments 3 and 4 are missing in phyl1/phyl4 flies. 45% of bristles on the notum are duplicated, having 2 hairs emerging from 2 sockets or a fused socket, and 28% of bristles on the notum show other defects (including 1 hair surrounded by 2-3 sockets, and 2 socket or 4 socket clusters without shafts). 1% of bristles on abdominal segments 3 and 4 are duplicated (2 hairs/2 sockets) and 20% show other defects. 75% of the neurons and 50% of the sheath cells of the es organs are missing in phyl1/phyl2 embryos, although most es organs form.

In clones of phyl1 cells ommatidia contain only 5 photoreceptor cells, an R8 and four cells of the R1-6 class. Rare ommatidia have five R1-R6 cells. Missing receptor cells are transformed to cone cells. Clonal analysis reveals that phyl is required only in R1, R6 and R7.

Statement
Reference

Nl1N-ts1 ; phyl1/phyl2 embryos show a reduction in the number of neurons in each abdominal hemisegment.

Dominantly suppresses the rough eye phenotype of phl::tor12D.hs.sev. Modifies the eye phenotype of phl12.

Suppresses rough eye phenotype of phl::tor12D.hs.sev, almost completely eliminating the extra R7 cells. Dominantly enhances the photoreceptor phenotype of phl12 and 'sev351'.
