Adult ifB2 homozygous mutant intestinal stem cell clones have similar maintenance 7 days and 14 days after clone induction compared to control clones.
Fewer haemocytes are observed migrating into the tail region in ifB2 mutant embryos. There is no decrease in migration to the dorsal vessel or ventral nerve cord in these animals.
ifB2 mutant embryos develop a mild muscle detachment phenotype in several segments.
When tested in the odour-induced jump-test, double heterozygotes of swsolfE-x26 and ifB2 exhibit a reduced response to benzaldehyde, but not to iso-amyl acetate or ethyl acetate, compared to controls
Stage 14 oocytes carrying ifB2 somatic clones are much more rounded than wild-type.
Embryos exhibit normal epidermis and resultant secreted cuticle, defects lie in internal tissues. Somatic muscle detach and round up. Gut morphogenesis is defective: anterior midgut does not become a slender tube and only two fat gastric caecae are formed. The ventral nerve cord does not fully condense.
Homozygous embryos have an increased rate of axon errors in the central and peripheral nervous systems compared to wild-type.
Mitotic clones in the eye have normal morphology.
Clones in the eye do not exhibit photoreceptor disorganisation.
Extreme defects in somatic muscle attachment sites and morphogenesis of the midgut in the embryo. Muscles pull away from attachment sites at the onset of contractions. Ventral nerve cord fails to shorten completely. There is no dorsal herniation defect. Clonal analysis demonstrated that if function is only required in the cells of the ventral wing surface.
ifB2 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of HUAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
ifB2, p130CAS1 has partially lethal - majority die | embryonic stage phenotype
ifB2, swsolfE-x26 has abnormal smell perception phenotype
ifB2, mysolfC-x3 has abnormal smell perception phenotype
ifB2, mysolfC-x10 has abnormal smell perception phenotype
ifB2, mysolfC-x17 has abnormal smell perception phenotype
ifB2, mysolfC-x5 has abnormal smell perception phenotype
ifB2 has muscle attachment site phenotype, enhanceable by TspΔ79
ifB2 has muscle attachment site phenotype, enhanceable by Tsp[+]/Tspunspecified
ifB2 is an enhancer of muscle attachment site phenotype of TspΔ79
ifB2 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of HUAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
βTub85Dn, ifB2 has presumptive embryonic salivary gland phenotype
The mild muscle detachment phenotype of ifB2 mutant embryos is strongly enhanced, both with respect to the extent of detachment and penetrance in embryos that are also heterozygous for Tspunspecified. In these embryos, longitudinal, ventral as well as dorsal muscles are detached, a phenomenon not observed in homozygous Tspunspecified single mutant embryos.
ifB2/Y; TspΔ79 double mutant embryos develop dramatic muscle pattern defects which is beyond an additive effect of the two individual mutant phenotypes.
In combination with either mysolfC-x3, mysolfC-x5, mysolfC-x10 or mysolfC-x17, ifB2 flies show a reduced olfactory response to isoamyl acetate and benzaldehyde. In combination with mysolfC-x5 or mysolfC-x17 (but not mysolfC-x10 or mysolfC-x3), ifB2 flies show a reduced olfactory response to ethyl acetate.
