    Commissural axons fail to extend across the midline and extend within the longitudinal pathways in mutant embryos.

    commΔe39 homozygous stage 16 embryos completely lack axon commissures.

    commE39 mutants exhibit commissural defects but have no salivary gland defects.

    Stage 17 commΔe39 mutant embryos have reduced numbers of midline glial cells. Those that remain do not reside in the axon free space that is the midline of these embryos, but instead line up along the longitudinal connectives; i.e.- those that survive are in contact with neurons.

    The commissures fail to form in mutant embryos.

    Axons do not cross the midline in mutant embryos. Three distinct Fas2-expressing longitudinal pathways on each side of the midline are still seen.

    No axons cross the midline in the central nervous system of commΔe39 embryos.

    Expression of either robo2ΔIg1.10xScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg, robo2ΔIg2.10xScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg or robo1::robo2R1I1+2.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu does not suppress the loss of commissure phenotype of homozygous commE39 embryos.

    Expression of robo1::robo2R2I1+2.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu strongly suppresses the loss of commissure phenotype of homozygous commE39 embryos.

    Expression of robo2Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg under the control of Scer\GAL4sli.PS suppresses the loss of commissure phenotype of homozygous commE39 embryos.

    kuzunspecified partially suppresses the loss of commissures seen in commΔe39 homozygous stage 16 embryos, although most axons are still unable to cross the midline.

    The commissural defects seen in fra4/fra6 embryos are enhanced in a heterozygous commE39/+ genetic background as shown by missing and thin commissures in many segments, as well as an increased frequency of non-crossing defects in a subset of of commissural neurons.

    The reduction in midline glial cell numbers seen in commΔe39 mutant embryos is suppressed in double mutants with Wunspecified or rlSem. These rescued midline glial cells are scattered throughout the midline, which lacks axons in these animals.

    In a robounspecified/commΔe39 double mutant embryo, the intermediate Fas2 pathways is also perturbed and can be seen crossing the midline. Embryos homozygous mutant for robounspecified and leaunspecified show a compressed midline where all the axons approach the midline and cannot leave. The addition of commΔe39 does not effect this phenotype.

    FlyBase curator comment: FBrf0254852 says that FBal0097023 and FBal0141222 are the same allele, based on a personal communication from G. Tear. Merged these alleles here.
