Homozygous embryos exhibit loss of lateral chordotonal (Lch) neurons and severe loss of neurons in the ventral PNS. Embryos frequently exhibit interclusters of axons that fail to connect or are misrouted.
This allele was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was discarded from the gene disruption project prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock. Further information is available from http://www.fruitfly.org/bfd/ and from Dr. Spradling (spradling@mail1.ciwemb.edu).
P{lacW} insertion can be excised and revert the lethal phenotype to wild type.
