8949bp internal deletion of the progenitor P{PZ}trh10512 insertion (nucleotides 2740-11687 deleted), leaving the flanking genomic region intact.
trh8 homozygous embryos lack trachea while they do not exhibit any changes in gonad niche morphology when compared to controls.
Spiracular chamber cells still invaginate, forming a filzkorper. The filzkorper is shorter than wild type.
In homozygous embryos the Malpighian tubules join a common ureter and are wider than normal. Cell rearrangement is not completed in the tubules.
The filzkorper do not elongate and trachea do not form properly. The oesophagus, gastric caecae and Malpighian tubules are unaffected.
Ecol\lacZvvl.1+2, trh8 has epidermis phenotype
Ecol\lacZvvl.345, trh8 has epidermis phenotype
tgo1, trh8 has larval tracheal system phenotype
The vvl expressing cells seen when Ecol\lacZvvl.1+2 is expressed in embryos in a trh8 mutant background fail to invaginate, remaining on the epidermal surface of the embryo.
The vvl expressing cells seen when Ecol\lacZvvl.345 is expressed in embryos in a trh8 mutant background fail to invaginate, remaining on the epidermal surface of the embryo.
trh alleles fall into an allelic series. From strongest to weakest: trh1 = trh8 > trh7 > trh10512 > trh6 > trh5 > trh4.
