Df(3L)X14/Df(3L)ED224 larvae do not show a significant increase in abdominal neuroblasts compared to wild-type.
Few anterior dMP2 and MP1 neurons survive in Df(3L)H99/Df(3L)X14 late stage embryos (similar to wild-type embryos, where these neurons are lost by the late embryonic stage). Few anterior dMP2 and MP1 neurons survive in Df(3L)X25/Df(3L)X14 late stage embryos (similar to wild-type embryos, where these neurons are lost by the late embryonic stage).
The wing discs of Df(3L)X14/+ mutant third instar larvae exhibit reduced levels of apoptosis in response to X-ray induced irradiation with 4000 rads compared to controls.
Anterior dMP2 neurons do not survive in heterozygous late embryos (as occurs in wild-type embryos, where these neurons are lost by the late embryonic stage). Anterior dMP2 and MP1 neurons do not survive in homozygous Df(3L)X14 late embryos (as occurs in wild-type embryos, where these neurons are lost by the late embryonic stage).
