Comment:

There is an A to T substitution that leads to a H771L codon change. A single base deletion two bases downstream leads to a frameshift.

Detailed Description

The number of sensilla basiconica is reduced to 28% of wild-type in lzg mutants.

Homozygotes show general disruption of the ommatidial array and black pock marking that is more severe at the posterior rim of the eye. lzg/lz50e and lz77a7/lzg females show disruption of the ommatidia and black pock marking confined to the anterior portion of the eye.

Females rarely accept courting males and exhibit an unusually high rate of spontaneous ovulation.

Displays locomotor activity rhythm with an approximately 24h period.

The antennal funiculus is reduced in size in hemizygous males. The number of large and small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is greatly reduced, and the number of trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased. The number of coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is normal. The density of the coeloconic and trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased and the density of the small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is decreased compared to wild-type.

Homozygotes have rough eyes which are reduced in size. Red eye pigment is distributed over the entire eye. The tarsal claws are reduced. The spermathecae and pars ovariae are absent in homozygous females.

Females lack spermatheca and parovaria.

Eyes smaller than wild type; surface glossy from fused facets; a few normal facets also present; color dark blood red, bright red in combination with st or v. Larval Malpighian tubes slightly lighter than normal (Brehme and Demerec, 1942). Tarsal claws reduced. Spermathecae and parovaria absent from homozygous females, which have reduced fertility; lzg/+ females tend to have abnormal parovaria (Anderson, 1945). RK1. glossy; tarsal structures reduced or absent; spermathecae absent; parovaria absent more or less female fertile lzg/lzs provided probably the first recorded case of intra-allelic recombination (Oliver, 1940a; Oliver, 1940b).

As in lzg/Y mutants alone,the basiconic sensilla in rntod/rntot, lzg/Df(2L)M36F-S6 double mutants have been converted to trichoid sensilla. The at1 sensilla have been converted to at4 in both trichoid zones.

A further 70% reduction in the number of sensilla basiconica in lzg mutants is seen if one copy of the chromosomal region containing amos is also removed. The number of sensilla trichodea is unaffected.
