hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Tb[1] larvae are considerably shorter along the anterior-posterior axis than wild-type. Although the length of the Tb[1] ventral nerve cord is comparable to wild-type, peripheral nerves are shorter in Tb[1] larvae.
Heterozygous Tb[1] mutant larvae have short bodies and long tracheal tubes compared to wild type. The intertaenidial distance in Tb[1] heterozygotes is similar to wild type.
Tb1 mutant pupae exhibit a reduced cuticle axial ratio (length\width), without any defects in viability or fertility. At the pupal stage Tb1 mutants exhibit an axial ratio of 2.0 (compared to 3.5 in wild-type).
Larvae, pupae and adults are shorter and thicker than wild-type in both heterozygotes and homozygotes (not separable). Mutant larvae are distinguishable from wild-type on the basis of reduced length and tortuous tracheal trunks. Classification is reliable in larvae and pupae but not adults.
Larvae, pupae and adult are short and thickset. RK1 from first instar through pupa, RK2 as adult.

Statement
Reference
A Tb[1] heterozygous background suppresses the ventral nerve cord extension found in GlcAT-P[brv1] homozygous mutant L3 larvae, however, these double mutants still exhibit extension compared to wild-type controls. This demonstrates that the ventral nerve cord extension correlates with the total length of the larva, suggesting that in GlcAT-P[brv1] mutants the ventral nerve cord expands as a consequence of increased tension from shorter peripheral nerves or trachea, possibly due to some growth retardation of larval peripheral nerves or trachea.
One copy of Tb[1] in a Mmp1[2] mutant background partially rescues the tracheal break phenotype seen in Mmp1[2] homozygotes (55% of larva have tracheal breaks compared to 93%). The angle between the transverse connective and the dorsal trunk is reduced in Tb[1] Mmp1[2] double mutants compared to homozygous Mmp1[2] mutants but is still greater than in wild type. No homozygous Mmp1[2] larvae survive to pupariation, whereas 29% of Tb[1] Mmp1[2] double mutants survive beyond the larval stages. The failure of the taenidial distance to increase from the early to late third instar stages that is seen in Mmp1[2] mutants is still present in flies that also carry one copy of Tb[1].
