loss of function allele
lethal - all die before end of pupal stage | recessive
some die during pupal stage | recessive
photoreceptor cell R7 | increased number
photoreceptor cell R8 | increased number (with edk01102)
edk01102/edslA12 eye discs contain ommatidia with multiple R8 cells.
Used in clonal analysis to show that ed acts cell non-autonomously in the generation of supernumerary R7 cells.
