      Statement
      Reference
      The presence of ovoD1 has no effect on the dl1 phenotype.
      Mutant gene activity works in opposition to wild type activity. Viable. Male germ line is fertile, female germ line has no vitellogenic egg chambers.
      The egg chambers of heterozygous females fail to initiate vitellogenesis, and no eggs are laid. The soma is wild-type. Females heterozygous for both ovoD1 and snf1 have germ cells with a male-like morphology.
      Heterozygous females do not lay eggs, egg chambers form but degenerate before vitellogenic stages.
      Oogenesis in heterozygous females is mainly arrested prior to stage 4.
      Germ-cell arrest.
      In heterozygous females oogenesis is arrested prior to or at stage 4.
      Females carrying ovoD1 in a wild-type or ovo-/+ background show dominant female sterility. Heterozygous females contain no mature eggs.
      Oogenesis stops at about stage 4 in heterozygous females.
      Heterozygous females have small ovaries bearing only early egg chambers.
      Heterozygous females have an extended life-span compared to controls.
      The frequency of gypsy insertion into the ovo locus in a flam permissive background is higher in ovoD1/+ females than in wild-type females. gypsy insertions in ovoD1 females occur during most stages of germ-line development, in contrast to wild-type females where insertions occur only in late stages.
      Heterozygous adult females have atrophied ovaries containing some germ cells but lacking vitellogenic egg chambers. Wild-type clones made in the ovaries of a ovoD1 female, are significantly larger than clones of heterozygous mutant cells. This size difference is greater in clones initiated at 48 hours after egg laying (AEL) than 2 hours AEL.

      The dominant ovoD1 mutation has been reverted to a recessive loss of function mutation by insertion of a gypsy element.
      The ovoD1 allele has been cloned and transposed to several regions of the genome in P element vectors to facilitate the generation of germ line mosaics for autosomal mutations.
