Homozygotes exhibit a 'pushover' phenotype and defects in flight. Mutant larvae exhibit normal synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction.
Postmeiotic differentiation defect.
The poe03420 allele fails to complement the male sterility phenotype of poeunspecified.
A. Spradling.
This allele was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was discarded from the gene disruption project prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock. Further information is available from http://www.fruitfly.org/bfd/ and from Dr. Spradling (spradling@mail1.ciwemb.edu).
12 excision lines were generated of which 7 regained male fertility demonstrating the P{PZ} insertion is responsible for the male sterile phenotype.
