      Adults lack distal portion of appendages.
      dppd6/dppd14 clones are associated with defects in the wing, but not the notum. dppd6/dppd14 clones in the posterior compartment are associated with normal venation.
      dppd6/dpphr4 individuals have a nearly full size wing, except for the absence of the anterior crossvein, a reduction in the distance between L4 and L5 and a small amount of ectopic vein between L2 and L3.
      The medulla neuropil is reduced to a size similar to that produced by inactivating wg prior to 44hr AEL. The number of ommatidia is correspondingly reduced. The number of outer proliferative center cells incorporating BrdU is markedly decreased in the Fas2 expressing domain of wg and dpp early third instar brains.
      Homozygotes exhibit greatly reduced wings and eyes and loss of tarsal claws at the tips of the legs. Transheterozygotes with dpphr4 have wings approximately half size and normal legs and eyes. When in combination with Df(2L)C28/Mad+ the transheterozygotes exhibit more severe phenotype, further reduction in wing blade, slight reduction in the eye and loss of tarsal claws. Trisomy for Mad (Dp(2;3)JS20) partially ameliorates transheterozygote phenotype, wings are of normal size and show residual vein fusions.
      dpphr4/dppd6 transheterozygotes exhibit reduced wings to approximately half wild type size and no defects in eyes or legs.
      dppd6/dppd8 transheterozygotes have defects in both wing and leg development. Mutants can produce ventral wing hinge structures in transdetermined legs.
      Heterozygotes are phenotypically wild-type. Wings derived from dppd6/dpps4 animals lack only the anterior crossvein.
      70 to 100% of homozygous males show loss of tarsi and claws and have small wings and eyes. 35 to 70% of homozygous males show duplication of leg structures, and 10 to 35% of homozygous males have duplicated antennal structures.
      The external genitalia of dppd6/dppd12 males are reduced to a small ring like structure. dppd6/dppd12 females show duplication of the thorn bristles accompanied by an absence of long bristles.
      Small, rough eyes.
      dppd6/dppd12 flies have a reduced number of ommatidia. The adults are weak, short-lived (live for 2-3 days) and have abnormalities in the wing, leg, antenna and external genitalia. The tarsal and meta-tarsal segments of all legs are abnormal in dppd6/dppd12 flies, due to loss of claws and fusion of the tarsal segments. The dorsal parts of the leg are sometimes ventralised. The tibia and femur are progressively less affected, while the trochanter and coxa are almost wild type. The number of sex comb bristles is generally higher than normal. dppd6/dppd12 flies have defects in the distal segments of the antenna. The arista is usually absent and a conical projection is present on the third segment (which presumably represents the fused 4th, 5th and 6th antennal segments). Most dppd6/dppd12 males completely lack external genitalia while some have abnormal external genitalia. There is little effect on the female genitalia. The leg and antennal discs of dppd6/dppd12 larvae are deformed.
      dppd6/dpphr27 flies show partial fusions of the L2 and L3 and the L4 and L5 wing veins. The wing is compressed along the A/P axis compared to wild type.
      Approximately 50% of eggs laid by heterozygous females have shortened and abnormally shaped respiratory appendages.
      Heterozygotes do not have an ectopic wing vein phenotype.
      dpp[d6]/dpp[hr4] wings have only two veins, L3 and L5 and are missing L2 and L4 completely. dpp[d6]/dpp[hr27] mutants have wings that are significantly reduced in size and that are missing L3 and L5. The wings of dpp[d5]/dpp[d6] mutants are so small that the identification of patterning defects is obscured.
      Wing size is reduced in dpp[hr4]/dpp[d6] flies.
      dpp[d12]/dpp[d6] flies show a considerable loss of taste bristles but do not show a loss of pseudotrachae or a significant change in gross mediproboscis morphology.

      If dppd6/dpphr4 flies are also heterozygous for (paternally contributed) sax1 or sax2, L2 is lost and L4 and L5 fused. Whereas dppd5/dppd6 legs are normal, if the flies are also heterozygous for sax1 or sax2 then legs tend to lack tarsal claws.
      Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 driven expression of gbbScer\UAS.cSa or gbbScer\UAS.cSb is unable to rescue the mutant phenotype.
      vri1/+ or vri2/+ causes a further reduction in wing size and wing veins of dpphr4/dppd6 transheterozygotes. Eyes are smaller and rough and legs are truncated.
      Very few wgAct5C.PS; dppd6/dppd8 flies exhibit wg-induced transdetermination, legs with wing tissue.
      The anterior crossvein is restored in dppd6/dpps4 flies carrying one copy of gbb1. The wing is reduced in size in these animals and viability is significantly reduced.
      Does not enhance the phenotype of mxcG43 hemizygotes. The dppd6 phenotypes are enhanced if the flies are also hemizygous for mxcG43.
      The severity of the leg defects seen in dppd6/dppd16 flies is enhanced by B1. There is an overall shortening in length along the proximal-distal axis of the leg and complete or partial fusion or even total loss of tarsal segments. The tibia and femur are deformed, showing shortening, bulging and disorganised bristle patterns. The coxa and trochanter are not so strongly affected. The sex comb of the prothoracic leg, when present, is always duplicated in these flies. The antenna phenotype of dppd6/dppd16 flies is enhanced by B1; the arista, 4th and 5th segments are completely absent and the 2nd and 3rd segments are widened and deformed and have defects in the bristle pattern. B1 ; dppd6/dppd16 flies completely lack ommatidia. All B1 ; dppd6/dppd16 males completely lack external genitalia.
      The frequency of the Snoo[GS-C517T]/Snoo[GS-C517T] ectopic wing vein phenotype is significantly suppressed if the flies are also carrying one copy of dpp[d6]. The frequency of the ectopic wing vein phenotype caused by expression of Snoo[GS-C517T] under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub] is significantly suppressed if the flies are also carrying one copy of dpp[d6].
      Flies that express tkv[Scer\UAS.cNa], under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub], in a dpp[hr4]/dpp[d6] background, have smaller wings than flies expressing the transgene in a wild-type background and than dpp[hr4]/dpp[d6] flies that do not express tkv[Scer\UAS.cNa].
