Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

In dlpMH20 mutants, the number of ectopic mechanosensory bristles, but not chemosensory bristles, is increased.

Less than 1% of homozygous third instar larvae reach adulthood.

Wings from homozygous escapers are reduced in size compared to controls, with a greater reduction in the intervein area between wing veins 3 and 4 compared to the reduction in overall wing size. Ectopic mechanosensory bristles are present at the anterior wing margin. Homozygous adult escapers also have reduced, rough eyes.

Mutant embryos die with a "denticle lawn" phenotype. A low frequency of animals survive to adulthood. Those adults exhibit supernumerary wing margin bristles on either side of the margin.

dlp[+]/dlpMH20 is a non-suppressor of wing margin taste bristle | decreased number phenotype of pegDel1

dlpMH20 is a non-suppressor of taste bristle | increased number phenotype of Sulf1Δ1

Statement
Reference

In dlpMH20 Sulf1Δ1 double mutants the number of ectopic mechanosensory bristles is increased.

Embryos mutant for both zygotic and maternal dlpMH20 and dallyMH32 (dlpMH20, dallyMH32) exhibit a denticle phenotype stronger than seen in dallyMH32 mutants and exhibit mid-ventral denticle whorls.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

Expression of dlpScer\UAS.T:wg,T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 significantly rescues the reduction of the vein 3-4 intervein space that is seen in the wings of dlpMH20 escapers.

Expression of dlpScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP,T:Rnor\CD2 under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 does not rescue the reduction of the vein 3-4 intervein space that is seen in the wings of dlpMH20 escapers.
