N561Y
Maternal effect phenotype when in trans with a deficiency for osk.
Lack posterior body pattern elements and germ cells.
Absence of posterior pole plasm, polar granules and pole cells.
osk6/osk3 has increased cell death | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible by BacA\p35UASp.cWa/Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
Expression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.P\T.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4tub significantly reduces the amount of TUNEL-positive cell death in osk3/osk6 embryos.
Normal localization of osk mRNA.
Strong allele of osk. The abdominal phenotype of osk can be rescued by cytoplasmic transplantation of wild type posterior pole plasm into the abdominal regions of mutant embryos.
