Detailed Description

Reference

The development of homozygotes is considerably delayed compared to controls; when their heterozygous siblings eclose from the pupal case, homozygous larvae are the size of young third instar larvae. The homozygous larvae reach a nearly mature size 10-15 days after egg laying and remain as third instar larvae for up to 3 weeks. They then undergo puparium formation, although eversion of the wing and leg discs is incomplete. Retraction of the epidermis occurs, leaving gas bubbles on both extremities of the pupal case, but head eversion does not occur. The imaginal discs are slightly larger than normal in 1/3 of homozygous larvae. The hematopoietic organs are much larger than normal (up to 50 times the normal size) in aged larvae, with hyperplasia occurring maximally in the first pair of lobes and gradually decreasing in the more posterior lobes. The hematopoietic organs retain a globular and compact structure. Melanotic masses are not seen. The number of circulating hemocytes is strongly reduced compared to wild type. Heterozygotes have a "Minute" phenotype of short, slender bristles, a small body size (approximately 12 to 20% smaller than wild type) and a 2 day delay in eclosion at 25oC due to a delay in puparium formation. A partial cleft extending anteriorly from the scutoscutellar suture is seen on both sides of the scutum.

Lethality occurs during third instar larval or pupal stages. Mutants exhibit visible disc abnormalities: very small or no discs. Clones cannot be induced in wild type discs. In tergites, clones with normal size and frequency are recovered. Clones cannot be recovered in the wing disc.

Lethality occurs during pupal and pharate adult stages. Brain is of normal size but abnormal shape, discs are smaller than wild type with abnormal folding. Both brain and discs grow with age. Lymph glands retain lobular structure.

sta2/Y ; oho23Bk16814/oho23Bk16814 animals die as first to second instar larvae. sta2/Y ; oho23Bk16814/+ and sta2/sta2; oho23Bk16814/+ animals die as first to second instar larvae. sta2/+ ; oho23Bk16814/oho23Bk16814 third instar larvae are larger in size and have much larger overgrown imaginal discs than oho23Bk16814/oho23Bk16814 larvae. The leg discs tend to fuse together and the hematopoietic organs are larger than in oho23Bk16814/oho23Bk16814 larvae. The sta2/+ ; oho23Bk16814/oho23Bk16814 third instar larvae are more active than oho23Bk16814/oho23Bk16814 third instar larvae. The bristle phenotype of oho23Bk16814/+ heterozygotes is enhanced by sta2; Dp(1;3)sta/+, sta1/sta2 or sta1/+.

P-element excision demonstrates the insertion to be the cause of lethality.
