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.
Mutants show defects in the axon pattern of class IV dendritic arborization (da) neurons. The axon scaffold shows occasional loss of longitudinal and commissural branches.
Heterozygous and homozygous phenotype is very similar to Pcl mutants.
Abdominal segments in the embryo are transformed posteriorly. In the strongest alleles, the first abdominal segment resembles the second abdominal segment, and abdominal segments 2-7 are transformed to more posterior segments, while the head and thorax are normal. Weaker alleles affect only the more posterior segments. In Pclunspecified Scmunspecified double mutants, all denticle bands are similar to each other, and resemble A8 of wild-type embryos, although the thorax appears less transformed as the Keilin's organs are present. Head involution does not occur. A prominent abdominal denticle appears on the dorsal surface of the head and a few abdominal denticles are found behind the floor of the pharynx.
Scmunspecified is a non-enhancer of embryonic/larval hemocyte phenotype of mxcG43
Scmunspecified is a non-suppressor of embryonic/larval hemocyte phenotype of mxcG43
Scmunspecified, Su(z)121 has mesothoracic leg phenotype
Scmunspecified, Su(z)121 has metathoracic leg phenotype
Scmunspecified, Su(z)121 has sex comb phenotype
The transformation seen in Scmunspecified heterozygotes is dominantly enhanced by Su(z)121, giving additional sex comb teeth on the second and third legs in male double heterozygous flies.
