Reference

The addition of prdmf5 to prd4/Df(2L)Prl animals that have been partially rescued by gsbprd.PX, fully rescues the male sterility phenotype.

One copy of gsbprd.PX partially rescues the cuticle phenotype of prd4 homozygous embryos, while two copies fully rescue the phenotype. Two copies of gsbprd.PX partially rescue viability of prd4/Df(2L)Prl adults, while one copy fails to rescue prd4/Df(2L)Prl viability. Two copies of gsbprd.PX fail to rescue the fertility of prd4/Df(2L)Prl males.

The addition of gsbprd.PX to prd4/Df(2L)Prl flies produces male flies that are sterile. These males exhibit normal copulatory behaviour. The testes, the ejaculatory duct, and the ejaculatory bulb are without obvious morphological defects. In addition, a normal amount of sperm is transferred to females during copulation. However, accessory glands are completely absent in these flies.

Able to rescue the cuticular phenotype of prd4/Df(2L)Prl transheterozygous embryos and rescue them to viable adults. Adults exhibit distorted abdominal phenotype due to disorganisation of segments. One copy of each P{prd-Gsb} and P{prd-Pax3} give most efficient rescue of prd transheterozygous embryos, viable adults also show distorted abdominal phenotype.
