In mutant embryos the DA3A muscle is duplicated at the expense of DO5A in most segments.
Shows severe phenotype in trans to Df(3R)tll-g. spdo embryos display an approximate doubling of the number of neurons in the PNS, though the neurons are distributed among the four typical clusters in each segment and the overall morphology of the embryos is not affected. The two sibling cells of SOPIIb take the same, neuronal, fate. The md neurons are also increased in number, as are the dbd neurons. The dbd neuron is duplicated at the expense of its glial cell. For those neurons that have a lineage-related sibling, the non-neuronal cells adopt a neuronal fate in spdo mutants. Marker expression suggests that es neurons are transformed to md neurons in spdo mutants, similar to the transformation in N mutants. Lack of spdo causes a severe lack of glial cells in the CNS. The longitudinal tracts of the CNS are disrupted. The anterior and posterior commissures appear thicker and less condensed than normal.
eve-expressing pericardial cells are almost completely absent in Df(3R)ZZ27/spdoK433 embryos, although the presence of the DA1 muscles is unaffected.
Defect in embryonic PNS development: gain of neurons, glial support cells are transformed into neurons.
