Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Heterozygous DlB2 mutants display thickened veins and deltas at the margin of adult wings.

DlB2/+ adult flies display thickened veins ending in deltas.

DlB2/+ flies have a wild-type number of scutellar macrochaetae.

Marker expression and morphology suggest that numbers muscle founder cells are increased at the expense of fusion competent myoblasts in the visceral mesoderm of stage 11 DlB2 mutant embryos.

Mutant embryos are extremely deformed are do not always have a recognisable hindgut.

Heterozygotes with SerBd-3 are viable and exhibit a severe wing phenotype.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The vein thickening phenotype of DlB2 heterozygotes is enhanced by combination with CycGHR7. The severity of the phenotype differs with gender (more severe in males) and vein position (L2 and the junction between L4/L5 are particularly sensitive).

The vein thickening and vein deltas characteristic for HattP/+ adults is partially suppressible by combination with a single copy of HattP and to a lesser extent also by heterozygosity of HΔM3, HΔM1-2 or HCfs but no significant rescue is observed upon combination with one copy of Hcwt, HΔM1 or HΔM2.

DlB2/+ cannot restore the formation of interommatidial bristles in Df(1)sc10-1/Y flies.

Expression of sensScer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4lz-gal4 can restore the formation of interommatidial bristles in Df(1)sc10-1/Y flies. If the flies also carry DlB2/+, the number of bristles formed is further increased and there is a further loss of the normal ommatidial surface architecture.

DlB2/+; nvyPDFKG1/+ flies have a wild-type number of scutellar macrochaetae.
