embryonic ganglionic branch & embryonic tracheole (with Nrx-IV4025)
In Nrx-IV4865/Nrx-IV4025 embryos, tracheal phenotypes are apparent from stage 15. At stage 16 in these embryos the average dorsal trunk length is significantly greater than wild type (P<0.005) (116+/-4% mean+/-s.e.m., n>5, normalized to stage 16 wild-type value). In addition these embryos have moderately severe diameter increases in the dorsal trunk and other primary tracheal branches, and some ganglionic branches exhibit missing lumen. Diameter increases are also seen in the primary tracheal branches of Nrx-IV4865 homozygous embryos.
Transheterozygotes with Df(3L)vin8 or Df(3L)BK9 are lethal, rare adults escapers are occasionally obtained.
Trachea in Nrx-IV4865 sinunwu7 double mutants have the same phenotypes as either single mutant.
