female sterile (with shd2), with Scer\GAL4twi.2PE, shdUAS.cPa
viable (with shd2), with Scer\GAL4twi.2PE, shdUAS.cPa
egg chamber (with shd2), with Scer\GAL4twi.2PE, shdUAS.cPa
Early embryonic development of shd1 mutants is normal until approximately stage 14. At stages 15-16, abnormal morphogenetic movements are apparent that involve failure of head involution, defects in dorsal closure, and aberrant gut looping. shd1/shd2; shdScer\UAS.cPa; Scer\GAL4twi.2PE animals survive to be viable adults. Howver, females of this genotype are sterile, with egg chambers that arrest and degenerate at about stage 8-9 of oogenesis. The ecdysteroid profile of 10-14 hour old shd1 homozygous embryos is abnormal, resembling that seen in 4-6 hour old wild-type embryos.
No differentiation of cuticle or head skeleton.
shd1/shd2 is rescued by shdUAS.cPa/Scer\GAL4arm.PS
shd1/shd2 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4twi.2PE/shdUAS.cPa
