    Description

    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.

        carunspecified mutant third instar larvae do not show accumulations of acidic organelles (marked by Lysotracker) in the somatic muscles.

        (Bharadwaj et al., 2016)

        carunspecified homozygous female mutants have 39% pigment in the eye compared to 100% in wild-type flies.
