Genetic interaction between OGT/sxcH537A and Gug03928 or mopT482 alleles was assessed in the adult wing. In the Cr control (a), OGT/sxcH537A (b) homozygotes or Gug03928 or mopT482 heterozygotes have a complete L5 longitudinal wing vein that reaches the wing margin. In OGT/sxcH537A/OGT/sxcH537A;Gug03928/+ (c) or OGT/sxcH537A/OGT/sxcH537A;mopT482/+ (d) flies, 14% and 8% of the flies, respectively, have a shorter L5 wing vein. Fewer of the double homozygotes, OGT/sxcH537A/+;Gug03928/+ or OGT/sxcH537A/+;mopT482/+ display this phenotype as demonstrated by the quantification in (e). Arrows in (c) and (d) point to the short L5 wing vein phenotype.
