Wing defects are seen in aploxP.MCP-PRE.MM/apf08090 mutant flies, but they are significantly less severe than those seen in aploxP.MCP-PRE.MM homozygotes.
Wing defects are seen in Df(2R)DG-Mcp/apf08090 mutant flies, but they are less severe than those seen in Df(2R)DG-Mcp homozygotes.
Mild wing defects are seen in Df(2R)DG/apf08090 mutant flies, but they are less severe than those seen in Df(2R)DG homozygotes.
The lethality of this chromosome cannot be reverted by excision of the PBac{WH}, indicating that it is associated with a second site lethal. Rare homozygous revertant escapers as well as frequent hemizygous revertants have normal wings, suggesting that the PBac{WH} insert is responsible for the strong wing phenotype in hemizygous apf08090 flies.
