    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    At 28oC homozygous mutants die before third instar larval stage, at 18oC they continue development through larval and pupal stage and die only as pharate adults. The overall organisation of the retinal projections is disrupted in absE2/abs45LR7 animals. The fan of retinal projections into the optic lobe is irregular in shape, axons terminate prematurely and often cluster aberrantly. No apparent defects in photoreceptor differentiation is seen, and the number of ommatidia appears normal. However some irregularities in the photoreceptor cell layer, including misrotation of ommatidia, additional photoreceptors, and sometimes fewer photoreceptors are seen. absE2/abs45LR7 show melanotic tumours at various positions in their bodies.
