Embryos laid by heterozygous females are either lateralised, developing a cuticle with rings of ventral and lateral denticle bands. At gastrulation, embryos laid by heterozygous females fail to invaginate a ventral furrow and have a widened head fold. Embryos laid by eaD1/Df(3R)ea-5022rx1 females are markedly more elongated and have fewer denticle bands than embryos laid by eaD1/+ females.
Additional dl protein in gain of function dorsal group backgrounds shifts the nuclear dl gradient ventrally.
Lateralized embryos: cuticle is an elongated tube covered with rings of denticles. dpp, zen and twi are only expressed at the poles, only transient expression of sna is seen.
Embryos lateralized.
Embryos have a lateralized phenotype: differentiate rings of ventral denticles around the entire dorso-lateral circumference and do not form the ventrally derived mesoderm. Heterozygous females are sterile.
Dominant allele. Embryos are lateralised.
