Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

spn-B2/spn-BBU but not spn-B2/+ females lay eggs with defective dorsal appendages (fused, narrowly spaced or missing) when compared to controls.

spn-B2/spn-BBU females produce ventralised eggs that have fused dorsal appendages.

Homozygous and hemizygous spn-B2/Df(3R)trxE12 females produce eggs with a range of eggshell phenotypes; from resembling wild-type with two normal dorsal appendages, having two dorsal appendages fused at the base, having a single dorsal appendage to having little or no dorsal appendage material. Hemizygotes are viable. Eggs derived from fs(1)K10unspecified; spn-B2/spn-B1 females show a broad spectrum of phenotypes ranging from completely dorsalised to completely ventralised. spn-B1/spn-B2 and spn-B2/spn-BBU larvae show normal sensitivity to methyl methanesulfonate. Recombination frequency is 10-25% of normal levels in spn-B2/spn-BBU females, and X chromosome non-disjunction is increased 100-fold compared to wild-type.

Xrcc2CC homozygous females in the heterozygous background of spn-B2 lay eggs with defective dorsal appendages (fused, narrowly spaced, branched or shortened) when compared to controls.

The ventralised eggshell phenotype of eggs derived from spn-BBU CycGHR7/spn-B2 CycGHR7 double mutant females is enhanced compared to the defects seen in eggs from spn-BBU/spn-B2 and CycGHR7/CycGHR7 single mutant females.

The eggshell patterning defects of eggs derived from spn-B2/spn-BBU females are suppressed if the females also carry mei-W68unspecified/Df(2R)LL5.
