Flies co-expressing su(Hw)FL.Act5C.T:Ecol\lexA and wLexABR.En exhibit eye colour phenotypes. 4/5 of the lines examined have orange eyes to a greater or lesser degree.
Flies co-expressing su(Hw)FL.Act5C.T:Ecol\lexA and yLexABR.En exhibit cuticle pigmentation defects. 2/5 lines examined show light pigmentation.
Co-expression of su(Hw)FL.Act5C.T:Ecol\lexA suppresses the eye color defects seen in flies expressing wLexABR.UbxPRE. Darker eye colours are observed in all insertion lines examined.
Co-expression of su(Hw)FL.Act5C.T:Ecol\lexA partially suppresses the cuticle pigmentation defects seen in flies expressing yLexABR.UbxPRE. Darker pigmentation is observed in 4/5 insertion lines examined.
