Flies zygotically mutant for both esc6 and escld01514 produce larvae with poorly developed brain and imaginal discs, which die when they pupate.
The lethality of esc6, escld01514 double mutants is completely rescued by escT:Hsap\MYC.
The lethality of esc6, escld01514 double mutants is not rescued by escF77A.T:Hsap\MYC, although the brain and imaginal disc phenotypes are alleviated by escF77A.T:Hsap\MYC.
The lethality of esc6, escld01514 double mutants is not rescued by escF345A.T:Hsap\MYC.
Homozygous esc6 escld01514 double mutants which have received maternal esc[+] function (as the female parents carry an esc[+] transgene on a balancer chromosome) survive through a prolonged third larval instar and die as early pupae. The double mutant larvae grow slowly. They have very small haltere and wing imaginal discs and the eye part of the eye-antenna disc is reduced in size, while the leg discs are nearly normal in size. The abdominal ganglia of the central nervous system are nearly normal in size in the double mutant larvae, but the optic lobes are approximately half normal diameter.
Adult flies that are homozygous for escld01514 but heterozygous for esc6 are viable, fertile and appear normal.
Adult flies that are homozygous for esc6 and heterozygous for escld01514 are few and very weak. They display a range of homeotic phenotypes, including transformations of antenna to leg, wing to haltere and A4 to A5, as well as having extra sex combs on the leg in males.
