Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous pio2R-16 embryos have a tracheal disintegration phenotype similar to Df(2R)Px2 homozygotes. All tracheal branches except the dorsal trunk and the dorsal branch of the first tracheal metamere undergo disintegration. The branches that undergo disintegration include the cerebral branch, ventral cephalic, pharyngeal branch, dorsal branch, visceral branch, transverse connective, lateral trunk anterior, lateral trunk posterior and ganglionic branch. Instead of fine tracheal tubes, in homozygous pio2R-16 embryos these are transformed into hollow cysts. However, the dorsal trunk is not affected, indicating that pio2R-16 embryos exhibit an absence of tubes with autocellular adherens junctions. The subsequent differentiation of the dorsal branches does not seem to be affected in pio2R-16 homozygous embryos. Terminal branch formation or integrity is not detectably affected in pio2R-16 homozygous embryos. In addition, the formation of fusion tubes between the bilateral dorsal branches along the dorsal midline occurs normally in pio2R-16 homozygous embryos. prevented by a pim+ transgene.

Homozygous clones in the wing produce large blisters that lack sharp boundaries. Wings are sometimes rumpled. Homozygous embryos show excessive contractions of the segmental muscles just before hatching. The posterior segments are compacted and the muscles appear shorter than normal.

Homozygous clones in the wing produce a blistered phenotype.

Statement
Reference

The wing blistering phenotype seen in the posterior compartment of wings in flies expressing EogtGD5084 under the control of Scer\GAL4en.PU in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa is not affected if the flies are also heterozygous for pio2R-16.

The tracheal disintegration phenotype of dpolvR;pio2R-16 double mutant embryos appear very similar to those observed in dpolvR and pio2R-16 single-mutant embryos.

Shows a weak genetic interaction with mys8; the frequency of held-out wings but not the frequency of blisters in mys8 single hemizygotes is increased if they are also heterozygous for pio2R-16. Shows no interaction with mysb9.
