Heterozygotes show no significant memory defects.
Pole cells of embryos derived from pumMsc/pumFC8 females transplanted into wild-type host embryos pass normally through the midgut epithelium into the haemocoel. However, none of the transplanted pole cells are incorporated into the gonads of the host embryos, and they remain in the haemocoel and gut lumen. The average number of pole cells per embryo is reduced compared to controls in embryos derived from pumMsc/pumFC8 females.
Embryos derived from pumMsc/pumFC8 embryos have no abdominal segments. This phenotype is fully rescued if the females carry pumnos.PB, and is largely rescued if the females carry pumΔ2'.nos or pumΔ5'.nos.
pumMsc/pumFC8 has ovary phenotype, non-suppressible by cupunspecified
cupunspecified has no effect on the oogenesis defects associated with pumFC8/pumMsc females.
