Description

Imprecise excision of the P{lacW} element, resulting in a deletion of genomic DNA extending from the 3' end of the element. The deletion removes 7627bp from the P{lacW} transposon 3' end and 3735bp in vri.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

7% of stage 11-13 homozygous embryos show tracheal defects. During stages 14-17, 72% of homozygous embryos show weak tracheal defects (the general architecture of the trachea is preserved, but breaking of branches occurs and elongation and branching are abnormal) and 8% show strong tracheal defects (the tracheal architecture is strongly affected with complete disorganization and formation of sacs).

54% of stage 11-13 vri2/vri5R7.2 embryos show tracheal defects. During stages 14-17, 76% of vri2/vri5R7.2 embryos show weak tracheal defects (the general architecture of the trachea is preserved, but breaking of branches occurs and elongation and branching are abnormal) and 12% show strong tracheal defects (the tracheal architecture is strongly affected with complete disorganization and formation of sacs).

Bristles in homozygous clones are thinner and reduced in size than normal or are missing. The average distance between stout bristles of the triple row is reduced compared to wild type in homozygous clones, which is characteristic of smaller cells. There are holes in the margin due to atrophic or missing bristles. Mosaic flies in which the eyes are homozygous for vri5R7.2 have smaller eyes than normal and the eyes are rough. The ommatidia are disorganised and are spherical rather than the normal hexagonal shape and interommatidial bristles are missing or atrophic. The mean number of ommatidia is reduced by 19% compared to wild type and the mean size of the ommatidia is 80 +/- 9% of wild type. The photoreceptor stalks are twisted and shorter than normal.

Homozygous embryos are shortened and the dorsal epidermis often appears wrinkled and reduced (leading to a slight 'tail-up' phenotype) and trachea are interrupted. Less frequently the head skeleton is abnormal and ventral denticles are fused or missing. Hemizygotes die as larvae.
