When homozygous clones are made in the eye disc, furrow initiation is blocked in posterior margin cells of the eye disc.
Homozygous germ line clones (either germ line stem cells or spermatocytes) are generated in the testis, but they do not persist to the same extent as wild-type control clones.
Homozygous clones in the posterior of the eye disc do not appear to reorient the morphogenetic furrow in adjacent cells.
20% of the dorsal branch fusion events are disrupted. The fusion cell extends a sprout but does not contact the appropriate fusion partner.
Homozygous clones at the posterior margin of the eye disc fail to differentiate as photoreceptors, and often have a non-autonomous inhibitory effect on photoreceptor differentiation in surrounding wild-type cells.
Class I allele. Homozygous larvae survive to the late 3rd instar larval stage and lack imaginal discs. Larval fat body and the optic lobes of the CNS are dramatically reduced. Anterior midgut formation is abnormal. Larval survival rate of homozygotes is 25% of heterozygotes with wild type. Clonal analysis revealed that Mad function is autonomously required in the eye imaginal disc cells for proliferation and/or survival.
MadB1 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of tkvQ253D.GMR
MadB1/Mad12, brkXH has anterior-posterior compartment boundary of the wing disc | somatic clone phenotype
MadB1, wgl-15 has photoreceptor neuron phenotype
As MadB1 clones in the wing pouch do not survive, and bskflp147E single mutant clones show no segregation defects in the wing, MadB1 bskflp147E clones can be used to study whether MadB1 affects segregation of cells at the A/P boundary. The majority of bskflp147E MadB1 clones of A origin in contact with the A/P boundary of the wing disc are misplaced into the P territory, causing a displacement of the A/P compartment boundary toward P. However, clones of P origin remain in the P compartment. brkXH MadB1/Mad12 clones generated along the A/P boundary of the wing imaginal disc, using the FLP/FRT technique, show no defects in segregation behaviour. As with wild-type clones, these mutant clones stay in the compartment (anterior or posterior) in which they have been generated.

Excision of the P{lacW} is accompanied by reversion of the Mad mutant phenotype.
