A deletion that removes ftz-f1 regulatory sequences.
38% of ftz-f1ex17/Df(3L)Cat animals die as pharate adults with short malformed legs, 45% undergo head eversion but arrest early in pupal development and 17% fail to undergo head eversion but continue developing into cryptocephalic pharate adults. 31% of homozygotes survive as adult escapers.
Head eversion, pupal cuticle formation and leg evagination fail.

Most ftz-f1ex17/Df(3L)Cat animals are rescued to the pharate adult stage by one copy of bonS048706 (87%) or bonS024108 (70%). The number of homozygous ftz-f1ex17 adult escapers is increased by one copy of bonS048706 (72%) or bonS024108 (60%).
