Fig. 6. Genetic interactions with other rotational genes. (A-F) Disrupting Egfr
signalling has no effect on the nemoP1 phenotype. Top
panels show sections through adult eyes; bottom panels are schematics of these
images. (A,B) nemoP1. All ommatidia are arrested at
approximately 45°. (C,D) sev-Gal4, UAS-keren/+;
nemoP1. (E,F) ru1, nemoP1.
Conditions of both overactive (C) and underactive (E) Egfr signalling fail to
modify the nemoP1 phenotype. (G,H)
sca1 mutants show relatively minor defects in ommatidial
rotation in the adult eye. Most correctly specified ommatidia are orientated
at 90° to the equator, with only a few being misrotated. Colour coding in
schematics is as previously (black, correctly orientated; green, underrotated;
blue, overrotated; black circles, mis-specified ommatidia; red line,
equator).
