Nucleotide substitution: G?A. Contains a G to A mutation within the splice site at the 3' end of intron 3, which forces the use of a cryptic splice site 10 nucleotides downstream, creating a mRNA with a 10 nt deletion.

G?A
Contains a G to A mutation within the splice site at the 3' end of intron 3, which forces the use of a cryptic splice site 10 nucleotides downstream, creating a mRNA with a 10 nt deletion, causing a frameshift.
Embryos derived from homozygous bai1 germ-line clones exhibit a weak ventralised phenotype. Homozygotes show reduced survival, eclosing at a rate between 0.1 to 20% of the expected number. Homozygous or hemizygous males show reduced fertility and females lay no eggs, although many developed late oocytes are present in their ovaries which appear morphologically normal. Wings of homozygous mutants grown at 19oC have thickened veins that form delta-like broadenings close to the margin.

bai1 has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | dorsal | germline clone phenotype, non-suppressible by eca1
bai1 is a non-enhancer of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | dorsal | germline clone phenotype of eca1
bai1 is a suppressor of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | ventral phenotype of dl15
bai1 is a non-suppressor of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | dorsal | germline clone phenotype of eca1
Homozygous dl15, bai1 germ-line clones produce embryos that form cuticles lateralised at the filzkorper level - a long dorsalised cuticle with a characteristic filzkorper ring. Embryos lacking maternal bai (bai1) and also lacking zygotic tkv (tkvSL144) are completely ventralised. Embryos derived from germ-line clones that are homozygous for bai1 and heterozygous for put135 are weakly ventralised.
