Y742N
75% of embryos derived from heterozygous female hatch.
16 cell cysts form in mutant ovaries, but the oocyte is abnormal and is located in the centre of the cyst.
Oogenesis is arrested just after the formation of the 16-cell cyst in mutant ovaries. The presumptive oocyte remains in the centre of the cluster, rather than migrating to the posterior pole.
Ovarian development has arrested at an early stage but a few egg chambers are seen, some have aberrant morphology.
orbF303/orbmel has lethal | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by ypsJM2/ypsJM2
orbF303 has female sterile | recessive phenotype, non-suppressible by ypsJM2
orbF303/orbmel has embryo phenotype, suppressible by PlpWT.Ubi.GFP
orbF303/orbmel has dorsal appendage phenotype, non-suppressible by ypsJM2/ypsJM2
orbF303/orbmel, ypsJM2 has egg chamber phenotype
The failure of most eggs derived from orbmel/orbF303 females to hatch is partially suppressed by ypsJM2/ypsJM2 (40% of eggs derived from the double mutant females hatch). Eggs laid by ypsJM2 orbmel/ypsJM2 orbF303 females have fused, reduced or absent dorsal appendages. 5% of ypsJM2 orbmel/ypsJM2 orbF303 egg chambers are bipolar.
