DVM are virtually eliminated (a deficit in thoracic muscle precursors). DLM fibres often remain fused at their ends rather than splitting from three primordia into six DLM fibres. DLM, TTM and the few surviving DVM fibres occupy incorrect attachment sites on the dorsal thorax at epidermal locations normally occupied by other muscle fibres.
Heterozygotes with brrbp-1 have the salivary gland tangled in the head capsule and an abnormal proventriculus structure.
Failure of salivary gland degeneration. Reduction in dorso-ventral class of indirect flight muscles. Proventriculus abnormality: foregut-midgut junction less proventriculus-like in appearance.
Intermoult gene transcriptional phenotype.
Heterozygotes with Df(1)St490 are female sterile, Dp(1;f)101 can restore fertility.
70% penetrance of abnormal SEG-TG separation phenotype, 84% with an abnormal optic lobe position and 51% with brain fusion failure in rbp mutants.
Pupae die at the beginning of eye formation.
Chromosome carries an additional mutation affecting fertility which lies outside the sta and br loci.
