Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

When somatic clones of hpo42-20 homozygous cells are generated throughout the eye disc using Scer\FLP1ey.PN with P{neoFRT}42D, 90% of the animals survive the pupal stage and eclose. The resulting flies have less overgrowth and folding of eyes and head cuticle, and greater numbers of well defined ommatidial facets than if hpo42-47 is used.

Statement
Reference

The semi-lethal phenotype of hpo42-20/hpo42-20 P{hpo.t4.0}star animals is enhanced to complete lethality by heterozygosity for wtsx1, sav3 or sav4, but not Tsc129 or gig192.

Comments

Nine out of ten independent transgenic hpo+t4.0 lines tested fully rescue hpo42-20. The remaining insertion line (P{hpo.t4.0}star) partially only partially rescues: 34% of animals eclose, and these display a range of phenotypes such as held-out wings and mild overgrowth.
