bnl^JR69 mutant clones generated using the eyFLP method exhibit a glossy eye phenotype. No defects or delays are seen in G1-S transition at the third instar larval stage and early viability of eye cells is unaffected. However, defects in ommatidial organisation are seen. The architecture of third instar larval ommatidial clusters is distorted, and instead of the regular hexagonal arrays, they often appear circular. Cellular arrangement is disrupted in bnl^JR69 mutant pupal eye discs and defective actin organisation is also seen.
