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.
Homozygous clones result in lightly pigmented triple row bristles. Homozygous clones in the abdomen result in lightly pigmented cuticle and bristles. Homozygotes for a temperature-sensitive Ddc allele which are raised at 25o or 29oC have very thin wispy hairs on the wing, occasional multiple hair cells and the wing has an overall faint appearance.
Somatic clones exhibit an albino phenotype in both cuticle and bristles.
Irregularity of heart rhythm is pronounced compared to wild-type and the heart rate is significantly lower than wild-type in homozygous Ddcunspecified animals tested at the transition between larva and pupa at 20, 25, 30, 35 or 37oC.
AsnRS38, Ddcunspecified has lethal phenotype
