Construct: Nucleotide substitution: wild type SRE1 sequence CTGGCAG has been mutated by PCR to CTGcagG and wild type SRE2 sequence CTGGCG has been mutated by PCR to CTGcaG.
Embryos lack all head structures.
nanosSRE1.SRE2 is a suppressor of abdominal segment phenotype of oskunspecified
nosSRE1.SRE2 rescues abdominal segmentation in an otherwise osk- mutant, whereas the parental allele, nos+mSa, does not. Resulting embryos show defective head structures.
