Homozygous germ-line clones form completely dorsalised embryos.
dl15 mutant larvae dissected and exposed to air for 60 minutes show much reduced melanization, and melanin deposition on cuticles is substantially reduced compared to wild-type larvae under the same conditions.
Lowering the dose of dl maternally reduced the width of the embryonic mesoderm from 18 cells to 12-14 cells.
Embryos derived from homozygous females have a completely dorsalised cuticle. This phenotype is partially rescued if the females are also carrying dlαTub84B.PM; the resulting embryos have well defined dorsoventral polarity and have ventral denticle belts.
dl15 is a non-suppressor of melanotic mass phenotype | recessive | third instar larval stage phenotype of Atg61
dl15 has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | ventral phenotype, suppressible by bai1
dl15 has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | ventral phenotype, suppressible by eca1
Homozygous dl15, eca1 germ-line clones produce embryos that form cuticles lateralised at the filzkorper level - a long dorsalised cuticle with a characteristic filzkorper ring. Homozygous dl15, bai1 germ-line clones produce embryos that form cuticles lateralised at the filzkorper level - a long dorsalised cuticle with a characteristic filzkorper ring.
dl15 is partially rescued by dlαTub84B.PM
