abnormal cell number | oogenesis (with sov2)
abnormal size | adult stage | female (with sov2)
abnormal size | oogenesis (with sov2)
partially lethal (with sov2)
cystoblast (with sov2)
escort cell (with sov2)
ovary | adult stage (with sov2)
spectrosome (with sov2)
The ovaries of sov2/sovML150 transheterozygous females progressive show a range of phenotypes, including abnormal numbers of spectrosomes in the germarium, degenerate tissue characterized by small, nub-like ovaries comprising dysmorphic germaria, ovarian tumors and empty ovarioles. sovML150 heterozygotes are viable and fertile.
sov2/sovML150 transheterozygous females exhibit rudimentary ovaries; while most germaria show no germ cells, almost all remaining germaria show germ cell tumors, with each cell containing a single spectrosome. Escort cells are decreased in number and are virtual absent from the niche.
Germaria in sov2/sovML150 transheterozygotes also show an increase in apoptotic cells, as compared to controls.
sovML150 has lethal phenotype, suppressible by Dp(1;3)sn13a1
sovML150/sov2 has female germline stem cell phenotype, suppressible | partially by bamhs.PO
sovML150/sov2 has cystoblast phenotype, suppressible | partially by bamhs.PO
