amorphic allele - molecular evidence
Replacement of the the majority of the conserved phosphatase domain of Nil with a DsRed marker.
short lived
autolysosome | increased number | third instar larval stage
autophagosome | increased number | third instar larval stage
Nil1 third instar larval eye discs, antennal discs and fat bodies exhibit more autophagosomes/early autolysosomes (Atg8-puncta).
