ommatidium (with aoppok-x8)
pigment cell (with aoppok-x8)
aop[+]/aope2d is an enhancer of abnormal planar polarity phenotype of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev, dgoUAS.cFa
aop[+]/aope2d is a suppressor of abnormal planar polarity phenotype of dshhs.sev.B
aop[+]/aope2d, kay2 has abnormal planar polarity | somatic clone phenotype
aop[+]/aope2d is an enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev, dgoUAS.cFa
aop[+]/aope2d is an enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of EgfrE1
aop[+]/aope2d is a non-enhancer of wing hair phenotype of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev, dgoUAS.cFa
aop[+]/aope2d is a suppressor of ommatidium phenotype of dshhs.sev.B
aope2d is a suppressor of photoreceptor cell R7 phenotype of SosJC2, sev6
aope2d is a suppressor of ventral denticle belt phenotype of Egfrf1
aop[+]/aope2d is a non-suppressor of wing hair phenotype of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev, dgoUAS.cFa
aop[+]/aope2d, kay2 has ommatidium | somatic clone phenotype
aop[+]/aope2d, kay2 has eye photoreceptor cell | somatic clone phenotype
aope2d/+ enhances the planar cell polarity (PCP) defects in the eye induced by the overexpression of dgoScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev.
Homozygous kay2 clones in the eye in a aope2d/+ background show ommatidial chirality, rotation and photoreceptor number defects (kay2 single mutant clones do not show tissue polarity defects by themselves).
One copy of aope2d partially suppresses the formation of symmetrical ommatidia that is seen in animals expressing dshhs.sev.B.
Loss of wild type ttk promotes the formation of rare ectopic R7 cells.
Heterozygotes with aoppok-x8 or aopyan-1 are semi-lethal and the adult escapers have small rough eyes due to fusion of ommatidia, loss of the regular pigment cell array and ectopic R7 cells. sev6/sev+;SosJC2/aope2d mutants exhibit an increase in the number of R7 cells compared to sev6/SosJC2 mutants with two functional aop copies.
