Imprecise excision of P{EP}sdkEP369 results in a deletion of 1240bp at the 5' end of sdk.
In sdkΔ15 pupal retina, intercalation (visualized by &agr-catenin-GFP) is often incomplete while the number of secondary pigment cells in most lattice edges does not change when compared to controls.
sdkΔ15 homozygous adults show too many or too few R1-R6 photoreceptors in a small but significant proportion of ommatidia, as compared to controls.
sdkΔ15/sdkΔ15 is a suppressor of abnormal cell number | somatic clone | pupal stage phenotype of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL, cnoUAS.GFP
