Df(3L)BK10/Df(3L)ri-79c embryos show a failure to form a ventral furrow. The mesoderm primordium is internalised late.
Df(3L)A5 complements Df(3L)Brd6 and Df(3L)Brd18 but not Df(3L)Brd20 or Df(3L)BK10. Df(3L)Q26 and Df(3L)A27 fail to complement Df(3L)Brd6, Df(3L)Brd18, Df(3L)Brd20 and Df(3L)BK10.
88% of mutant embryos have an open ventral furrow phenotype.
The Df(3L)BK10 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).
The Df(3L)BK10 mutation induces premature mitosis in cells that form the ventral furrow. Among Df(3L)BK10 embryos, there is a small fraction containing patches of higher nuclear density which appear to be due to an extra (14th) cleavage division prior to cellularization. The nuclei/cells that divide only 13 times are more advanced than the nuclei that go through an additional mitosis and enter gastrulation later.
Heterozygosity for Df(3L)BK10 results in 0.4% X chromosome nondisjunction and 0.0% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females.
Homozygous mutants embryos show a failure to form a ventral furrow. The mesoderm primordium is internalised late.
No second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1.
The larval cuticle of homozygotes is weak, as seen by frequent holes at random positions in the exoskeleton.
Dominantly causes tergite defects in less than 50% of run3 heterozygotes.
Midgut development of mutant embryos is wild type.
Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.
