Description

FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.

Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

Embryos exhibit gap defects.

(Moore et al., 1998)

Cell death is dramatically increased in the mutant embryo, most cells in the kni expression domain die. Although no extra mesoderm cells are induced to become hemocytes the macrophages become larger than average. Cellular debris becomes located extracellularly in the hemolymph.

(Tepass et al., 1994)

Segments A1 to A7 are fused into a single denticle belt in kni^unspecified mutant embryos.

(Tearle and Nusslein-Volhard, 1987)

Additional Comments

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

The terminal regions of kni^unspecified tll^unspecified double mutants develop a single large denticle band. Triple mutant kni^unspecified gt^unspecified tll^unspecified embryos develop a lawn of denticles which extends from the terminal into the abdominal region of the embryo.

(Bronner and Jäckle, 1991)

kni^unspecified/kni^unspecified Egfr^t1/Egfr^f11 double homozygotes show a simple additive phenotype. Egfr^E3/+ shows a negative interaction in combination with kni^unspecified/kni^unspecified.
