The Trp mutation was mapped to the first G of the TGG codon, though a change at either G leads to a nonsense mutation. It was not clear what the G3611A reported nucleotide change was relative to.
Homozygous clones in the third larval instar eye disc have enlarged ommatidia containing supernumerary photoreceptors. Homozygous clones in the adult eye (induced in a Minute background) have enlarged ommatidia with craters of missing lens material. The mutant ommatidia often contain extra R8 photoreceptor cells.
