Embryos derived from enc791/encR1 females raised at 18[o]C have a fused dorsal appendage phenotype.
encR1/encQ4 mutant males progress through spermatogenesis normally, and no evidence of extra transit amplification of germline cysts prior to differentiation is observed.
Eggs derived from hemizygous females show a cold-sensitive ventralised egg-shell phenotype. More than 95% of the ventralised eggs have a single dorsal appendage at 18oC.
Egg chambers exhibit doubling of the number of nurse cells, or in a small number of cases the egg chambers are bipolar or have less than 15 nurse cells. Phenotype is more severe at 25oC. bamΔ86 encR1 double mutants exhibit tumorous egg chambers, identical to the bamΔ86 homozygous phenotype.
