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.
Embryos exhibit gap defects.
Embryos have an abnormal head skeleton and lack A8 and telson structures.
gtunspecified, kniunspecified, tllunspecified has epidermis phenotype
kniunspecified, tllunspecified has epidermis phenotype
The terminal regions of kniunspecified tllunspecified double mutants develop a single large denticle band. Triple mutant kniunspecified gtunspecified tllunspecified embryos develop a lawn of denticles which extends from the terminal into the abdominal region of the embryo.
3 mutants are isolated.
