kuz3 mutant embryos display an approximately twofold excess of cardioblasts along the whole anterior-posterior axis of the dorsal vessel, although the phenotype is more prominent in the posterior segments. Double-labellings for svp/Mef2, svp/tin, and lbe/tin show that all types of cardioblasts in an abdominal hemisegment are increased in number, although to different extent.
Homozygous kuz3 embryos display muscle contraction but fail to hatch and die approximately 2 days after egg deposition.
Df(3R)BSC846/Df(3R)BSC547, kuz3 has embryonic/larval muscle system | embryonic stage phenotype
kuz3/kuz3, Df(3R)BSC846/Df(3R)BSC547 mutant embryos show musculature defects, which range from severe defects to an apparently normal somatic musculature, as compared to controls.
