Mutations in ssh and flare enhance the tsr RS mutant phenotypes. (A–D) The P[w+; tsrUAS]2 P[ry+; GMR(Gal4-Pc)]2 female tsr RS mutant eye phenotype is enhanced and shows a higher rate of necrosis if the fly is heterozygous for (B) ssh26-1 or (D) flareBG2697R#5. Sections through tsr RS eyes show that ssh and flare can also enhance a tsr RS rhabdomere mutant phenotype. For this analysis, the phenotype of the weak tsr RS mutant P[w+; tsrUAS]1 P[ry+; GMR(Gal4-Pc)]1 males (E–H) was enhanced by heterozygous mutations in (F) ssh26-1, where the rhabodmere morphology and organization is more disrupted, and (H) flareBG2697R#5, where some rhabdomeres are split or have abnormal shapes (arrowheads).
