P{hsneo} insertion within 5' flanking sequences.
In srpneo45 embryos, the lymph gland does not form but most cardioblasts and pericardial cells do form.
The average number of crystal cells per embryo is reduced in homozygous stage 13-14 embryos compared to wild type.
Mutant embryos lack macrophages and have defects in the central nervous system axon scaffold (which has a rounded appearance). Increased numbers of repo-positive glial cells are present at the midline compared to wild type, while the glia associated with the longitudinal tracts appear more dispersed than in wild type.
Mutants embryos lack blood cells. During stages 11-13 have some missing tracheal cells. Also a small group of cells near each tracheal visceral branch, and a small group ventral midline cells in each segment, possibly midline glia.
Mutants lack hemocytes.
Homozygous embryos exhibit weak germ band retraction defects, one or no ventral setae remain on the dorsal aspect of the embryo. Kr staining reveals abnormalities in the amnioserosa.
Semi-viable.
The fat body appears normal in mutant embryos. Hemocytes are missing.

P{hsneo} insertion specifically affects the srp function required for development of the haemocytes, probably a regulatory region which is essential for the anterior mesodermal srp expression.
