Homozygotes arrest development at the end of the larval period, do not pupariate and die after several days as wandering third instar larvae.
Lethality acts in the late third instar.
Heterozygotes with br1 display small maxillary palps that are virtually devoid of mechanosensory bristles. Rostral membrane is lost so the proboscis is barely visible.
Failure of salivary gland degeneration. Reduction in dorso-ventral class of indirect flight muscles.
brnpr-7 is not rescued by brBRcore.Z4.hs
brnpr-7 is not rescued by brBRcore.Q1.Z1.hs
brnpr-7 is not rescued by brBRcore.NS.Z3.hs
brnpr-7 is not rescued by brBRcore.TNT.Q1.Z1.hs
Lethality is not rescued by brBRcore.Q1.Z1.hs, brBRcore.TNT.Q1.Z1.hs, brZ2.hs, brBRcore.NS.Z3.hs or brBRcore.Z4.hs when expressed using heat shocks of either 33oC or 37oC. brnpr-7 third instar larvae expressing brZ2.hs show further development than control brnpr-7 larvae, forming normal looking puparia with everted spiracles, a tanned cuticle and imaginal discs that have initiated morphogenesis.
