This deletion removes multiple ribosomal protein-coding genes (in addition to other genes).
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
Heterozygosity for this deletion enhances the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.
The Df(2L)VA16 chromosome acts as a dominant weak suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion), but this is a false positive result (the suppressor is not within the bounds of the deficient region) because the region of the deficiency is covered by one or more nonsuppressing deficiencies.
"γ ray" was stated as tentative. "ethyl methanesulfonate" was stated as tentative.
