Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

The mean circulating hemocyte number of cact^E10/cact^E8 mutants is not statistically different from that of controls.

(Chiu et al., 2005)

The number of circulating hemocytes is increased in cact^E8/cact⁹ third instar larvae compared to wild-type.

(Dolezal et al., 2005)

The ability of cact^E8/cact³ larvae to encapsulate L.boulardi eggs is significantly increased compared to that of control larvae.

(Sorrentino et al., 2004)

cact^E8/cact³ larvae are viable at 24 and 48 hours after fertilisation. By 72 hours after fertilisation there is some lethality and delay in the rate of development compared to control siblings. Only 40% of the larvae survive to 120 hours after fertilisation, and only 4% of the larvae make white prepupae. Over 90% of larvae have melanotic capsules. cact^E8/cact⁹ larvae are viable at 24 and 48 hours after fertilisation. More than 80% of the larvae survive to 120 hours after fertilisation and progress into pupal stages. Less than 1% of these animals eclose, the majority dying as pupae. Approximately 40% of larvae have melanotic capsules. cact^E10/cact^E8 larvae and adults do not have melanotic capsules. Hemocyte density in cact^E8/cact³ hemolymph is more than 10-fold higher than in the hemolymph of control or heterozygous larvae. There are an increased number of lamellocytes in the hemolymph compared to control larvae. The lymph glands of 5 to 8 day old animals are abnormally large and there are many more hemocytes per lobe. Hemocyte density in cact^E8/cact^E10 hemolymph is not significantly different than in the hemolymph of control larvae.

(Qiu et al., 1998)

Strong ventralizing phenotype: lack of all dorsally and laterally derived structures and the expansion of the ventral epidermis around the entire circumference. Expansion of twi expression in terminal regions.

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

The melanotic tumour penetrance is reduced in lwr^4-3 cact^E8/lwr⁵ cact^E10 double mutants compared to lwr^4-3/lwr⁵ single mutants and by day 8, the amount of circulating hemocytes is reduced in the double mutants. In contrast, the amount of lamellocytes remains as high as in the single mutants.
