Amino acid replacement: M413R.
Nucleotide substitution: T?G.
Homozygous emb2 mutant larvae die at the 2nd instar stage (approximately 70 hours after egg laying).
The most advanced stage seen in emb2/Df(2L)N22-14 animals is the 2nd larval instar.
emb2 has embryonic/larval anterior spiracle phenotype
Removal of one copy of mbo1 from emb2 homozygous mutants prolongs the life span of 20% of the individuals to the 3rd instar larval stage (approximately 120 hours after egg laying). This prolonged survival is accompanied by eversion of the anterior spiracles, a morphological characteristic of progression through larval development.
