Imprecise excision of P{EP}p38bGE3128 resulting in removal of 862 nucleotides, including the first exon and half of the second exon, which includes the initiating methionine and the first 539 nucleotides of the coding sequence.
862 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}p38bGE3128, which removes exon 1, the intron, exon 2 and the first 539 bp of the coding sequence of p38b.
p38bd27 mutant larvae exhibit a melanotic phenotype under normal food conditions. A "black dot" is seen in the posterior hindgut. The number of larvae exhibiting melanotic masses increases under salt stress conditions. Survival rate is reduced compared to controls in both normal conditions and in response to salt stress.
Approximately 20% of homozygous larvae die before pupariation, with an additional 20% of homozygous pupae failing to emerge. Lethality is accentuated by raising larvae on low-nutrient medium: only 20% of homozygotes survive to adulthood under these conditions.
Few adults survive when homozygous larvae are raised on food containing high salt.
Adult homozygotes are abnormally sensitive to hydrogen peroxide, dry starvation, and high temperatures.
Bristle density on the wings of p38bd27 flies is increased by approximately 10%, indicating a decrease in cell size.

MAPk-Ak2Δ43 slightly enhances the melanotic phenotype seen in p38bd27 larvae under normal food conditions. A "black dot" (BD) is seen in the posterior hindgut in approximately 28% of larvae. However, MAPk-Ak2Δ43 does not increase the number of p38bd27 mutant larvae displaying the BD phenotype in salt stress conditions. The semi-lethality seen in p38bd27 is not enhanced by MAPk-Ak2Δ43.
