mesothoracic tergum & trichome
Almost all of the cells on the dorsal surface of the centre of the E region of the wing form several small hairs in hemizygous flies. The bristles of the dorsal notum are normal in hemizygous flies, but the epidermal hairs are lost in this region. The bristles of the dorsal abdomen are also normal in hemizygous flies, but the epidermal hairs are reduced in size. Homozygous clones in the wing show a loss of hair formation.
The dorsal denticle of the abdomen are smaller and less numerous than normal in hemizygous third instar larvae.
Mutant clones in the wing disrupt wing hair formation but do not result in wing blistering.
Arista laterals are shorter than normal in mutant flies and are often split. The laterals can split at any time during lateral growth.
Homozygotes are quite weak.
