Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

ash218/ash214 transheterozygote thorax displays duplicated bristles and sockets. ash27/ash218 transheterozygous wings display campaniform sensilla to bristle transformation. ash23/ash218 transheterozygous wings display an ectopic bristle that does not replace a known campaniform sensilla, but may replace an ectopic sensilla.

Mutation changes the level of w expression in ph-plac+3 flies; eye colour is lighter.

Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

ash218 sktlΔ15 double heterozygotes show a homeotic transformation of third leg to second leg (9.4% penetrance). ash218 sktlk07505 double heterozygotes show a homeotic transformation of third leg to second leg (3.5% penetrance). sktlΔ15/+ ; ash21/ash218 larvae have delayed development and die at an earlier stage than ash21/ash218 larvae.

ash21/+ does not significantly enhance the frequency of transformation of halteres into wings seen in Dsp11/Y flies.

Haplo-insufficient phenotype of Df(3R)P9 is enhanced by heterozygosity for ash218.
