The average number of crystal cells per embryo is reduced (to 21.2) in homozygous stage 13-14 embryos compared to wild type (36 +/- 2.2 cells on average). The crystal cells are also mislocalised. The plasmatocytes are also mislocalised in mutant stage 13-14 embryos, being clustered in the anterior third of the embryo (normally they are distributed evenly throughout the entire embryo).

Deficiency complementation analysis is consistent with the lethality of the line being associated with the insertion.
