hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygous mutant males have testes that have a high frequency of defective onion stage early spermatid cysts: nucleus size often varies and abnormally large mitochondrial derivatives associated with several nuclei are common. Flagella elongate in mutants, nut spermatid bundles are disorganised. Spermatid nuclei also elongate but are scattered instead of clustered at the end of the flagella bundles. In belneo30/bel6 females oogenesis initially proceeds normally, but at around stage 9 the majority of egg chambers degenerate. A minority of egg chambers proceed beyond this stage to produce mature eggs. belneo30/bel6 and belneo30/bel2 ovaries produce eggs that have very fragile chorions and very short dorsal appendages.
Hemizygous males show a more extreme phenotype than homozygotes and are poorly viable if raised at 18oC. Hemizygous females are sterile and produce eggs with weak chorion. Homozygous females are fertile.
