    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.

        Detailed Description
        Statement
        Reference

        Homozygous clones in the wing produce discrete, round blisters of variable size. These blisters can be located anywhere on the wing. Wing venation is normal.

        Additional Comments
        Genetic Interactions
        Statement
        Reference

        Shows a weak genetic interaction with mys8; the frequency of wing blisters is increased from approximately 10% in mys8 single hemizygotes to approximately 20% in mys8 hemizygotes that are also heterozygous for blounspecified. Shows no interaction with mysb9.
