Statement
Reference
flam[BG02658]/flam[KG00476] ovaries show defective germline and soma differentiation phenotypes. Somatic cells also die.
Homozygous females do not lay any eggs. flamBG02658 flies have a permissive phenotype with respect to gypsy expression (assayed by expression of a P{gypsy-lacZ.p12} reporter construct in the ovaries). flamBG02658 flies are unstable for ZAM expression (assayed by expression of a P{ZAM-lacZ.LTR} reporter construct in the ovaries). 24 hour old flamBG02658 females have ovaries which are very small and contain rudimentary ovarioles within which no differentiation of germ cells has taken place. Ovarioles of 48 hour old mutant females are severely dystrophic, containing two to three completely disorganised egg chambers which contain a reduced number of abnormally shaped nuclei. Mature eggs are rarely formed, and those that do are smaller than normal and appear to lack dorsal-ventral and anterior-posterior polarities. The dorsal appendages are short and abnormally shaped. The follicular epithelium is completely disorganised in the ovaries of 6-day old mutant females. Mosaic females containing homozygous germline clones develop several completely normal ovarioles and are fertile. The eggs produced by these females give rise to normal adult flies.
