Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

trol8 mutant larvae display morphological defects in the brain: a neural invasion phenotype (neural cells from the brain invade adjacent peripheral structures) as well as protrusions of varied size from the brain and nerve cord, however, the penetrance is relatively low as the larvae typically arrest in the second instar larval stage.

Hemizygous embryos show ISNb motor axon guidance defects (69.1% of hemisegments) and SNa motor axon guidance defects (41.1% of hemisegments). ISNb axons fail to defasciculate at muscles 6 and 7 and some axons stall between muscles 6 and 13. SNa axons fail to reach their proper targets.

The commissural axon phenotype (failure to cross the midline) seen in embryos expressing Sema-1aScer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4P52 in a Sema-1ak13702 null background is significantly suppressed if the embryos are also heterozygous for trol8.

trol8/+ ; Sema-1ak13702/+ double heterozygous embryos show ISNb motor axon guidance defects (50.5% of hemisegments) and SNa motor axon guidance defects (44.8% of hemisegments).

trol8/+ ; Df(4)C3/+ double heterozygous embryos show ISNb motor axon guidance defects (60.2% of hemisegments) and SNa motor axon guidance defects (52.4% of hemisegments).

trol8/+ ; plexBKG00878/+ double heterozygous embryo do not show significant ISNb or SNa motor axon guidance defects compared to controls.
