The Df(2R)WMG chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).
Mutant embryos show complete fusion of the longitudinal and commissural nerve trunks - few intersegmental connections are maintained.
Homozygous embryos show defects in segmentation, germband retraction, dorsal closure and head involution. Elongation of Malpighian tubule material is variable.
Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.
