Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutant embryos show a 'dorsal open' cuticle phenotype.

Mutant embryos show a "dorsal open" phenotype due to a loss of dorsal cell fates and are partially ventralised. The Filzkorper are reduced.

Clonal analysis in the germarium shows that shn04738 mutant stem cells are lost at an increased rate and replaced by wild-type cells.

Homozygous embryos lack dorsal hypoderm.

Homozygous embryos lack the dorsal hypoderm.

Dorsal closure fails, dorsal epidermis is significantly reduced. Denticles on the lateral region are abnormally oriented and disrupted.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

brkXH ; shn04738 double mutant embryos have an intermediate phenotype between the two single mutant phenotypes; the dorsal hole typical of shn mutants is rescued, but the dorsal ectoderm is significantly reduced compared to brk mutant embryos and the cuticle is relatively more ventralised. The Filzkorper are reduced, as in shn04738 single mutant embryos. The first row of anterior facing denticles in segment A1 (missing in brkXH embryos) are recovered.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The 'dorsal open' cuticle phenotype seen in shn04738 embryos is rescued by expression of Hsap\HIVEP1Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB, such that the dorsal cuticle is closed and contiguous and the morphology of the embryos is much closer to wild type.

Strong hypomorph.

Mobilisation of the P-element reverts the mutant phenotype to wild type.
