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.
Many flies that contain mutant clones have pits or protrusions on the thorax in the vicinity of the flight muscle attachments.
When mutant clones are induced in the wing, a wing blister appears within a few minutes of eclosion of the adult flies from the pupal case.
Clones of mutant cells in the pupal wing still contain the transalar microtubule arrays that are normally seen spanning the wing cells at this stage. The bundles are disordered in the mutant cells, presumably because of the separation between the two cell layers of the wing that is seen in wings carrying mutant clones.
The pattern of the cuticle is normal in mutant embryos, although the cuticle is faint.
