      ArkN28/ArkP46 mutant males exhibit a marked increase in spermatogonial cyst death compared to controls.

      ArkN28/Ark82 mutant males exhibit a marked increase in spermatogonial cyst death compared to controls.

      (Yacobi-Sharon et al., 2013)

      Salivary glands are degraded by 24 hours after puparium formation (as occurs in wild-type controls) in ArkN28/ArkL46 mutants that develop normally.

      (Berry and Baehrecke, 2007)

      ArkN28 mutants display severe defects during the spermatid individualization process. The cystic bulges are frequently reduced in size or appear flat due to a failure in the appropriate collection of the cytoplasm of the spermatids . The retained cytoplasm is clearly visualized as a trail along the entire length of what was supposed to have been the post-individualized portion of the spermatids. Frequently a large portion of the spermatid cytoplasm is retained in a 'mini' cystic bulge structure, which often contains part of the individualization complex. Waste bags are also reduced in size.
