Strong phenotype. Mutant embryos show no obvious segmentation, and are 40% the length of wild type; denticles form a lawn arranged in a number of whorls on the ventral surface as a result of loss of naked cuticle.
hh15/hhAC is partially rescued by hhUAS.cIa/Scer\GAL469B
Naked cuticle formation in hh15/hhAC embryonic cuticle is rescued by hhScer\UAS.cIa; Scer\GAL469B, but the denticle belts formed consist of only row 1 2 and 3 type denticles.
Strong allele of hh.
