Male germ cells that are mis-localised (not within the gonad) do not proliferate in mutant embryos.
Hemizygotes are temperature sensitive semi-lethal. wunCE/Df(2R)wun-GL females are often agametic. Germ cells fail to cluster on the dorsal posterior surface of the posterior midgut primordium.
Df(2R)w45-19g/wunCE is a suppressor | partially of primordial germ cell | non-rescuable maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype of Df(2R)w45-19g/wun2N14
The pole cell death phenotype of embryos from wun2N14/Df(2R)w45-19g mothers is partially suppressed by zygotic wunCE/Df(2R)w45-19g, although proper migration of the pole cells is not rescued in these embryos (Note wunCE/Df(2R)w45-19g vs wunCE/+ embryos not indpendently scoreable, but in a 1:1 population of each, 50% had a less severe cell death phenotype than wun+ embryos from wun2N14/Df(2R)w45-19g mothers. These were assumed to be wunCE/Df(2R)w45-19g rather than wunCE/+).
Induced on: Df(2R)44CE.
