Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement.
Homozygous ndl2 follicle cell clones are produced via Scer\GAL4e22c-mediated expression of FLP recombinase. In some egg chambers all follicle cells appear to be mutant, indcating that ndl2 mutants do not confer any defect in viability or growth.
Ventral follicle cells homozygous for the class II ndl2 allele do not perturb dorso-ventral patterning in the progeny embryos.
Allele is inactive in dorsoventral polarity establishment.
Injection of snkΔne.T:ea into the central region of homozygous embryos causes a lateralised/ventralised phenotype.
Embryos transplanted with perivitelline fluid from Tl2 embryos exhibit a polar gastrulation. At the end of embryogenesis an almost complete restoration of pattern along the dorsoventral axis is seen. The point of injection determines the ventralmost point of the restored pattern.
When pipST2.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4ET3 in ndl1/ndl2 females, the resulting embryos are dorsalised.
Shows dominant negative inhibition of ndl9.
Class II allele.
