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.
Large mutant clones in the eye result in a total lack of eye development.
XX eggs laid by homozygous females die at the embryonic stage at the nonpermissive temperature (22oC and above). The variegated morphology of the In(1)fB15 chromosome is suppressed in males derived from daunspecified/daunspecified mothers.
Females heterozygous for Df(1)N19 that are derived from daunspecified/+ mothers show reduced viability at 29oC.
Triploid intersexes that are the progeny of homozygous da- mothers are masculinised.
daunspecified has lethal | recessive | female | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible by In(1)fB15/In(1)fB15
In(1)fB15, daunspecified has viable phenotype
In(1)fB15 rescues the lethality of XX eggs laid by homozygous females at the nonpermissive temperature; homozygous In(1)fB15 females derived from daunspecified/daunspecified mothers survive.
daunspecified is rescued by da+t7
daunspecified is rescued by da+tPa
Analysis of triploid flies shows that the lethal da maternal effect is depends on the X/A balance, rather than the absolute number of X chromosomes.
