Fig. 2. vri affects wing shape and hair morphology and interacts with actin-binding protein encoding genes. (A) Wild-type adult female fly. (B) vri¹¹/vri⁵ adult female fly with shorter downward bending wings and shorter and upturned posterior scutellar bristles (arrow). (C) Wild-type wing. (D) vri¹¹/vri^5R5.24 wing, smaller than wild type with notching at the anterior margin (right-hand arrow) and multiple regions with atrophic or missing hairs appearing as non pigmented zones on the wing surface (arrows). (E) vri^5R7.2/kst⁰¹³¹⁸ wing showing missing hairs at the anterior margin (top arrow) and notching at the posterior margin (bottom arrow). (F) vri^5R7.2/Actn^G0077 wing with missing hairs at the anterior margin (top arrow) and on the wing surface (bottom arrow).
