Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutants have defects in the pupal retina; cone and primary pigment cells are disorganised, and accumulation of actin is seen. The ommatidial lattice is disorganised. The arrangement of photoreceptor cell nuclei is irregular and most ommatidia contain less photoreceptor cells than normal. Interommatidial bristle cells are sometimes missing, or sometimes more than one interommatidial bristle cell is present in the same location. The total number of bristles in the eye is reduced compared to wild type.

The rhabdomeres of mutant pupal eyes do not have the normal trapezoidal shape and are fused/juxtaposed with other rhabdomeres. In mutant adult eyes, the rhabdomeres appear abnormally shaped or degenerated.

Homozygous adults have an abnormal pseudopupil under the light microscope.

Homozygous 45 hour pupal eyes have an increased number of dead cells compared to wild type.

Homozygotes show low viability and some survive only till larval, pupal or pharate adult stages, but viable adults are produced. The homozygous pharate adults and adult survivors have patches of malformed ommatidia, with fused ommatidia and missing bristles. In the most severely affected eyes, photoreceptor cells are hardly seen. Mutants also have antennal bristle abnormalities.

Third larval instar homozygous eye discs have an abnormal ommatidial arrangement and the axon bundles between the brain and eye discs are disorganised. There is an increase in the number of dying cells posterior to the morphogenetic furrow compared to wild type.

Adult Rab11mo/Rab11EP3017 escapers have eye defects including fused ommatidia and missing bristles.

Rab11mo/Rab11j2D1 flies have normal eyes.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The increased cell death posterior to the morphogenetic furrow that is seen in Rab11mo homozygous larval eye discs is significantly rescued if the animals are also expressing BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

The mutant eye phenotype of Rab11mo homozygous adults is partially suppressed by expression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

The increased cell death posterior to the morphogenetic furrow that is seen in Rab11mo homozygous larval eye discs is significantly rescued if the animals are also carrying Df(3L)H99.

The mutant eye phenotype of Rab11mo homozygous adults is partially suppressed by Df(3L)H99.
