Imprecise excision of P{}mdr49KG08611 has deleted 3.4kb flanking the insertion site.
Somatic gonadal precursors are normally specified in Mdr49δ3.16 homozygous embryos.
Germ cells in Mdr49δ3.16 homozygous or Mdr49δ3.16/Df(2R)Exel7123 embryos migrate through the posterior midgut, but many then fail to associate with somatic gonadal precursors. The same phenotype, but with fewer germ cells affected, is seen in Mdr49δ3.16 heterozygotes and Mdr49δ3.16/Mdr49KG08611 embryos.
Mdr49δ3.16 has primordial germ cell phenotype, suppressible | partially by Scer\GAL4twi.PG
Mdr49[+]/Mdr49δ3.16 is a non-suppressor of primordial germ cell | maternal effect | embryonic stage 5 phenotype of Neurl4Δ1
Ectopic migration of germ cells to the CNS in HmgcrScer\UAS.cvDa; Scer\GAL4elav-C155 embryos is partially suppressed by Mdr49KG08611/+.
The germ cell migration defects seen in Mdr49δ3.16 homozygous embryos are largely suppressed by Scer\STE6Scer\UAS,T:Avic\GFP; Scer\GAL4twi.PG.
Mdr49δ3.16 is rescued by Scer\GAL4twi.PG/Mdr49UAS.cRa
Mdr49Scer\UAS.cRa; Scer\GAL4twi.PG rescues the germ cell migration phenotype due to Mdr49δ3.16/Mdr49δ3.16.
