bnl[00857] mutant clones generated using the eyFLP method exhibit a glossy eye phenotype. bnl[00857] mutant eye clones lose their ability to constrict their apical surfaces at the morphogenetic furrow. They also lose normal contacts between cells and form aberrant-shaped clusters. bnl[00857] mutant eye clones produce defects in retinal basal glial (RBG) cell migration from second instar larval stage. The RBG cells migrate ectopically to anterior regions of the eye beyond the morphogenetic furrow, a phenotype that is not seen in wild type flies. RBG proliferation and survival are not affected. bnl[00857] clones generated specifically in the glia do not show RBG migration defects.
40% of tracheal ganglionic branches fail to reach the central nervous system in heterozygous embryos.
Somatic clones of bnl00857 in the third instar wing disc columnar epithelium cause a decrease in the numbers and migration of air sac tracheoblasts.
The filopodia-like cell extensions that are seen in tracheal cells at stage 12 are missing in mutant embryos. The mutant embryos lack an interconnected dorsal trunk and instead show a segmental array of isolated metameric tracheal units with a lollipop-like structure in place of the dorsal trunk.
Stage 13 homozygous embryos show little tracheal branch outgrowth.
Heterozygous and hemizygous embryos show sporadic defects in primary tracheal branch outgrowth. This is manifest most significantly by the ganglionic tracheal branches, 9% of which fail to reach the central nervous system.
The number of terminal tracheal branches (GB, LG and LH) are reduced by 30%-50% in heterozygous bnl00857 larvae.
Almost every tracheal metamere appears as an unbranched, elongate sac of tracheal cells. Tracheal cells invaginate and form tracheal sacs but the branches fail to grow out. A few primary branches form that are rudimentary. Scer\GAL4C49 mediated expression of bnlScer\UAS.cSa allows branch formation and growth. Formation of muscles and the peripheral nervous system are unaffected. There are specific defects in the nervous system.

bnl[00857]/+ leads to a significant reduction in the penetrance of Scer\GAL4[btl.PS] Vhl[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] tracheal phenotypes.
Pak6; bnl00857 double heterozygotes have a range of tracheal phenotypes not seen in single heterozygotes for either of these alleles: The mildest phenotype is a misrouting of the dorsal branches toward the anteroposterior direction; more severely effected embryos also exhibit truncations of the dorsal trunk.
The bnl00857/+ tracheal branch outgrowth defects are partially suppressed by grhs2140/grhs2140; 78% of the tracheal ganglionic branches reach the central nervous system in the double mutant embryos.
Expression of Cdc42[V12.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[btl.PS] in a bnl[00857] background show occasional (4.4%) fusions of the adjacent lollipop-like dorsal trunk structures (bnl[00857] single mutants show no fusion of the adjacent metameric tracheal units).
stumps09904b, bnl00857 double heterozygotes show a dramatic increase in tracheal outgrowth defects, with nearly four times as many stalled ganglionic branches as the bnl00857 heterozygote alone. The double heterozygotes also displayed increased dorsal branch outgrowth defects compared to bnl00857 heterozygotes as well as rare dorsal trunk outgrowth defects never seen in bnl00857 heterozygotes.
btlLG18 bnl00857 double mutants exhibit a tracheal phenotype similar to either mutant alone. btlLG19/btl+ bnl00857/bnl+ double heterozygote exhibits enhanced bnl00857 phenotype, defects in tracheal outgrowth. A constitutively activated form of the btl receptor (btl::tort4021b.hs.sev) can partially ameliorate the effect of absence of bnl; modest restoration of branching in bnl00857 embryos.

P{PZ} insertion carries an internal deletion than removes most of the Tn\kanR and Ecol\ori region. Δ2-3 mediated transposition yields a homozygous viable revertant that restores tracheal branching and other revertants with intermediate tracheal phenotype. This confirms the P{PZ} element causes the bnl phenotype.
