R3/R3 type symmetrical ommatidia (where the R3 or R4 cell has not taken up the correct position) are found at the borders of homozygous clones in the eye. In these ommatidia, either the R3 or R4 cell, or both, is mutant and the chirality of these ommatidia is sometimes also incorrect. 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.
84.4% of embryos exhibit a germband retraction phenotype, 12.3% a dorsal closure phenotype. 79% 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.
Hemizygous embryos show weak failure of germband retraction. 68% have abdominal segment 6.5 or greater at the posterior tip. The head skeleton is abnormal.
pebX001 has amnioserosa phenotype, non-suppressible by InRhs.PF
The failure of germband retraction can be rescued by pebhs.PY.
Maternal germline clonal analysis demonstrates there is no maternal effect.
l(1)EH275a is not allelic to peb; l(1)EH275a1 complements pebhnt-1, pebX001, pebEH704a and peb1.
