abnormal size, with ft8/ftG-rv
ftG-rv/ft8; ftΔD.T:SV5\V5 wings are slightly overgrown, rounder and have decreased spacing between the crossveins compared to controls.
Expression of one copy of ft::Hsap\FAT4T:SV5\V5 fails to suppress the wing overgrowth phenotypes seen in ft8/ftG-rv mutant flies expressing one copy of ftΔD.T:SV5\V5.
ftΔD.Tag:V5 partially rescues ft8/ftG-rv
ftΔD.Tag:V5 partially rescues ft8/ftG-rv
ftΔD.Tag:V5/ftΔF.Tag:V5 partially rescues ft8/ftG-rv
Expression of ftΔD.T:SV5\V5 rescues the lethality associated with ft8/ftG-rv. However the wings of the rescued flies are 29% larger than normal and the distance between the anterior and posterior crossveins in 73% of wild type. Only a negligible wing hair planar cell polarity phenotype is seen. The abdominal hair polarity phenotype is fully rescued. The intercellular ridges continue to run from anterior to posterior as in the ft8/ftG-rv mutant posterior wings, rather than proximally to distal, as is seen in wild type.
