Heterozygotes have deletions of anterior and posterior wing structures, including the medial costa, parts of the radius and the alar lobe. D10 mutant wing discs show large number of apoptotic cells.
Lethal when heterozygous with Dr72 or Dr513. The wing phenotype of the dominant alleles is due to ectopic expression of D in the anlage of the hinge in the wing imaginal disc, as can be reproduced using a DScer\UAS.cSa driven by Scer\GAL430A or Scer\GAL4zfh2-MS209.
D10/Df(3L)D-5rv6 embryos exhibit intermediate segmentation defects showing segment fusions often in A3 to A7.
wing hinge Exhibits a dominant wing hinge phenotype. The nervous system in homozygous embryos appears wild-type.
Shows tissue specific loss of D expression in the embryo.
Shows tissue-specific loss of D expression thus is a regulatory mutation.
Associated with a recessive lethal phenotype that maps to 70D1-2.
