dpps6/dpphr4 transheterozygotes are adult viable and exhibit occasional wing vein defects. Truncation of longitudinal vein 5 (L5) is observed in approximately 11% of adults, while 2% display truncations of L4 and L5.

dpphr4/dpps6 causes relatively few wings to have abnormal venation.

Abnormal gut morphology.

Fails to form second midgut constriction. Length of midgut reduced in section 2, with remaining cells having hexagonal shape. Small but statistically significant decrease in the viability of adults.

Affect adult wing venation.

dpps6/dpphr4 Mad1 flies exhibit L4 and L5 wing vein defects in almost 100% of cases. Approximately 10% of wings with L4 and L5 defects exhibit missing crossveins (anterior, posterior, or both) and small wing margin notches. This indicates an enhancement of the dpps6/dpphr4 phenotype by Mad1.

Only 71% of the expected dpps6/dpphr4 Mad1 progeny are recovered, indicating a statistically significant amount of lethality.

dpps6/dpphr4 Med7 flies exhibit L4 and L5 wing vein defects in approximately 42% of cases, with 15% of these wings also exhibiting defects in L2, or the posterior crossvein or margin notches.

The incidence of abnormal venation in dpphr4/dpps6 is increased by Df(2R)Pcl11B or Df(2R)Pcl7B.

Used to examine regulation of dpp-Ecol\lacZ promoter fusions, whose expression depends on endogenous dpp function demonstrating that positiveautoregulation maintains dpp expression in the visceral mesoderm.
