Homozygous embryos show defects in the guidance of the intersegmental nerve in the periphery.
Ten-m628 somatic mutant clones generated in the eye and wing are much smaller than their control twin-spots. Ten-m628 somatic clones generated in a Minute/+ background to confer a growth advantage, show abnormal ommatidial shape, size, and order, interommatidial bristle loss, and supernumerary interommatidial bristles at clonal margins. The lens of some ommatidia contains a hole or "breach". One-quarter to one-third of ommatidia lack at least one photoreceptor. Larval eye disc mutant clones show a reduced number of R7 photoreceptor precursor cells.

FlyBase curator comment: FBrf0214744 characterises new loss of function mutations in Ten-m and finds no evidence of a pair-rule segmentation phenotype, in contrast to previous reports. The authors show that the pair-rule phenotype previously reported for a number of Ten-m mutations (Ten-m05309, Df(3L)Ten-m-AL1 and Df(3L)Ten-m-AL29) was in fact due to a mutation present on the balancer in the original stock. The segmentation phenotype described in FBrf0201077 for Ten-m628 has thus been removed from the allele report in FlyBase, since it is likely that this phenotype is due to a second-site mutation rather than the mutation in Ten-m.
