    mr1/mr2 females show no apparent defect in germline stem cell maintenance.

    The nurse cells revert to mitosis at stage 5 in homozygous and mr1/mr2 egg chambers. Nurse cells in later mr1/mr2 egg chambers often become pycnotic. Embryos derived from mr1/mr2 egg chambers which complete oogenesis complete meiosis, however, the zygotic nuclei and frequently the polar bodies, are arrested on metaphase spindles that are anastral or have broad poles. The chromosomes are hypercondensed in these embryos.

    Semi-lethal when hemizygous, with most hemizygotes dying as pharate adults. Escapers have etched tergites and very rough eyes. mr1/mr2 females sometimes lay eggs (which do not hatch). Fertilised eggs show an early metaphase arrest phenotype, containing usually between 6 and 10 metaphase nuclei. The spindles are broader than wild-type both at the metaphase plate and at the spindle poles.

    Eyes rough. Bristles irregularly reduced in size and number. Abdominal sclerites often smaller. Developmental study by Lees and Waddington (1942) shows that effect on bristles results from general slowing of bristle growth. Female entirely sterile, has underdeveloped ovaries. At 19oC, bristles nearly normal and eyes nearly wild type. RK2 at 25oC and above.

    Reference

    mr1/mr2 enhances the loss of germline stem cells that is seen in eff8/effmer1 females, such that the rate of germline stem cell loss is more rapid in the double mutant females.

    In aretPA/aretZ2286 ; mr1/mr2 double mutant adult female, germ cells show a high frequency of metaphase arrest beginning during stage 1-2 of oogenesis.

    Germ-line clonal analysis indicates that the mr1 nurse cell phenotype is likely to be germ-line-dependent.
