egg chamber | oogenesis stage S14 (with peb1)
Homozygous clones in the eye result in a scar. Mutant cells in larval eye discs show depletion or more diffuse localisation of F-actin, especially in the more posterior part of the mutant clone.
65.8% of embryos exhibit a germband retraction phenotype, 20.5% a dorsal closure phenotype. 60% of embryos that complete germ band retraction exhibit an anterior-open or dorsal-hole phenotype characteristic of the failure of dorsal closure.
Genetic mosaic embryos show phenotypes that reveal a correlation between the genotype of the amnioserosa and the success or failure of germ band retraction.
Embryos show intermediate failure of germband retraction. 36% have abdominal segment 6.5 or greater at the posterior tip.
Variably incomplete germ band retraction.
pebEH704a has mitotic domain 1 | extended germ band stage phenotype, suppressible by InRhs.PF
pebEH704a has embryo | dorsal closure stage phenotype, suppressible by InRhs.PF
pebEH704a has amnioserosa phenotype, non-suppressible by InRhs.PF
The failure of germband retraction can be rescued by pebhs.PY.
l(1)EH275a is not allelic to peb; l(1)EH275a1 complements pebhnt-1, pebX001, pebEH704a and peb1.
