The P{PZ}frc00073 insertion maps within both frc and CG32174 (nested genes).
When homozygous clones are made in the follicle cells, no dorsalisation phenotypes are seen in the resulting embryos.
Homozygotes die at the late pupal stage. Embryos derived from homozygous germline clones die during embryogenesis with strong segment polarity and mesodermal patterning defects that can be paternally rescued to viability.
frc[+]/frc00073 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ
frc[+]/frc00073 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ
When wgScer\UAS.cKa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 in a an embryo that is zygotically and maternally mutant for frc00073, naked cuticle is restored in a typical pair-rule pattern. When hhScer\UAS.cIa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 in a an embryo that is zygotically and maternally mutant for frc00073, naked cuticle is restored in a typical pair-rule pattern. The penetrance of the loss of wing vein phenotype seen in NAx-E2/+ flies (8.7%) is enhanced to 30% by one copy of frc00073.
One copy of frc00073 suppresses the rough eye phenotype seen in flies expressing Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ.

Excision of the P{PZ} element fully reverses the germ-line clone phenotype.
