Statement
Reference
Heterozygous females with mama1 are fertile.
Shallow gradient of bcd protein with reduced amounts in anterior regions. The gt posterior domain is abolished and the anterior domain is shifted anteriorly.
Absence of posterior pole plasm, polar granules and pole cells.
Does not interact with RpII140wimp maternal effect.
Embryos lack pole cells. Large amounts of vas protein are expressed in early stages of oogenesis. Perinuclear localization is reduced in favour of additional protein in the cytoplasm: vas protein fails to distribute asymmetrically. Cleavage embryos have uniform vas protein distribution, the protein disappears by early gastrulation.
Homozygous females produce embryos that fail to form pole cells, lack polar granules normally found at the posterior pole, and have deletions of abdominal segments. The embryos also show a tor-like head deletion.
Embryos from homozygous stau1 mothers have normal abdomen, hatch and survive to adulthood. Embryos from mothers transheterozygous for stau1 over a deletion of stau have severe abdominal deletions.
weak allele maternal-effect lethal Embryos from homozygous mothers exhibit a so-called 'grandchildless-knirps' phenotype; all eggs lack polar granules and no pole cells are formed; most embryos show variable deletions of abdominal segments, whereby segment A4 is deleted most frequently; larger deletions may delete segments A2 through A7; in extreme cases, anterior parts of segment A1 become fused to posterior parts of segment A8, but telson elements are always present and relatively normal. In addition, embryos show deletions of the anterior-most head structures and the cephalic furrow is shifted anteriorly at gastrulation. Analysis of germ-line clones indicates that the mutation is germ-line autonomous (Schupbach and Wieschaus, 1986).

Cytoplasmic transplantation of wild type plasm into the abdominal region restores normal abdominal development.
Germline mosaic analysis shows that stau is required in the germline.
