fry1/fry02240 mutant third instar larvae show a significant increase in the proportion of dorsal midline ddaC dendritic length that is enclosed within the epidermis rather than attached to the ECM. Dendrite crossing is seen in these mutants, and the majority of these crossings are between enclosed dendrites and dendrites attached to the ECM and are thus non-contacting. Unlike in wild type, crossing is also seen between dendrites on the interface between the v'ada and the vdaB neurons. These crossings are non-contacting.

As in wild type, when two fry1 homozygous mutant ddaC dendrites approach each other they either retract or alter the direction of extension to avoid crossing. However when two dendrites cross that are in a different apical basal plane (i.e one is attached to the ECM and the other is enclosed in the epidermis) the two dendrites cross over each other.

Females carrying homozygous follicle cell clones produce round eggs.

Expression of fryUAS.Tag:MYC.GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU completely rescues the lethality of fry1/fry2 mutants. These rescued flies are both male and female sterile. The paired ovaries of rescued females are often of different sizes, and the eggs produced are more rounded than normal and are rarely laid. Wing cells in adult wings from these rescued flies display (in 99% of cases) a single hair compared to the more than four hairs per cell seen in fry loss of function clones.

fry1/+ heterozygotes exhibit wild-type dendritic tiling, with wild-type levels of dendritic crossing points per υm[2].

fry1 mutants exhibit supernumerary terminal branching and defective dendritic tiling. their terminal branch number and the total branch length are increased by a factor of two and the branches of ddaC neurons often overlap each other. The major branch architecture appears normal. This phenotype is apparent in early first instar larvae. The tiling defect can be seen independently from the overbranching defect. The crossing branches have rigid and straight trajectories. ddaC neurons in fry02240/fry1 larvae exhibit tiling defects, though they have normal dendritic length and branch points. ddaC neurons in fry02240/fry1 larvae exhibit tiling defects, though they have normal dendritic length and branch points. When somatic clones are made in the neurons, mutant dendrites display a 50% increase in the number of branches. Mutant clones also exhibit a tiling defect. In mutants, the v'ada and vdaB dendrites often invade neighbouring fields. Major branches as well as terminal branches overlap extensively. This appears to be caused by a defective like-like dendrite avoidance response: dendrites can grow and retract normally, but their inability to turn in order to avoid like dendrites results in tiling defects.

Most cells in homozygous clones in the wing form a cluster of hairs (average is 5.7 hairs/cell) and some hairs are split distally.

The level of non-contacting dendrite crossing in class IV dendrite arborizing larval neurons is significantly increased in fry1;Df(2R)Sema-2b-C4 double mutants compared to either fry1/+ or Df(2R)Sema-2b-C4/+ heterozygotes.

Co-expression of mysScer\UAS.cDa and mewScer\UAS.cMBa the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PH rescues the increase in epidermally enclosed dendrites seen in fry1/fry02240 mutants. The dendritic crossing seen in fry1/fry02240 mutants is also largely rescued. The dendritic crossings that remain in the rescue flies are between two ECM attached dendrites, rather than non-contacting crossings between an epidermally enclosed dendrite and one attached to the ECM. The crossing on the v'ada/vdaB interface is also mostly rescued and all non-contacting crossing is eliminated.

stanE59/fry1 double heterozygous larvae show increased crossing of dendrites in the dendritic arbor of the ddaC class IV neurons compared to wild type (neither single heterozygote shows this phenotype).

fry1/Vangstbm-6 double heterozygous larvae show increased crossing of dendrites in the dendritic arbor of the ddaC class IV neurons compared to wild type (neither single heterozygote shows this phenotype).

Transheterozygotes for fry1/hpoMGH4 exhibit obvious iso-neuronal as well as hetero-neuronal tiling defects, including a significant increase in dendritic crossing-points compared to single mutants.

A fry1/+ background enhances the multiple wing hair phenotype of flies that express either trcS292A+T453A.Scer\UAS, trcS292A.Scer\UAS or trcS292A+T453A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544.

fry1 trcS066917a matse03077 triple heterozygotes have a weak multiple wing hair phenotype in 40% of wings.

fry1/trc1 larvae exhibit tiling defects, though they have normal dendritic length and branch points.

mwhunspecified fry1 double mutant clones have a much stronger multiple wing hair phenotype (16.35 hairs/cell) than either single mutant. fry1 fyunspecified double mutant clones in the wing have a much stronger phenotype than either single mutant. fry1 frtzunspecified double mutant clones in the wing have a much stronger phenotype than either single mutant. trcS066917a fry1 double mutant clones do not have a stronger multiple wing hair phenotype (5.37 hairs/cell) than either single mutant.
