Clones in the eye reveal a phenotype qualitatively similar to that of ocuvi.
Neuromere b1 is absent or reduced in all embryos.
Median ocellus is displaced anteriorly and is smaller. The pattern of interocellar and ocellar bristles is disturbed. The distance between the two lateral ocelli and between the two postvertical bristles is increased.
No effect on prd expression in embryo.
Clones in the head homozygous for ocotd-YH13 show abnormal morphology in the frons and ocelli. Clones in the female vaginal plates homozygous for ocotd-YH13 are always abnormal. Frequently the left and right plates are fused along the midline, and internal genital structures derived from the medial regions of the genital disc are missing. The thorn-like bristles on the vaginal plates are often duplicated. The first and fourth denticle rows in the anterior abdomen of ocotd-YH13 are deleted.
Interacts with RpII140wimp maternal effect.
The dorsal arms of the head skeleton are absent or fragmented in mutant embryos. The antennal segment is missing.
Defects in head development and segmental patterning. Abnormal neuropil. Aberrant commissure formation in each segment. The disappearance of neurons labelled by P{A92}45C demonstrates that cell death is restricted to identified neurons associated with the midline of the CNS.
All denticles of abdominal segments point posteriorly in ocotd-YH13 embryos. The head is abnormal.
ocotd-YH13 is partially dominant in combination with RpS5a2.
Strong allele.
