hypomorphic allele - genetic evidence
Insertion of a P{lacZ} element upstream of ush.
direct flight muscle cell
dorsal longitudinal indirect flight muscle cell
Homozygotes have abnormal direct flight muscle (DFM) attachments and dorsal medial muscle (DLM) defects. Only two fibres ( as opposed to six in wild-type) are seen.
ush[+]/ush1513 is a suppressor of decreased body size phenotype of mir-8Δ2
ush1513/+ significantly rescues the reduced weight of mir-8Δ2 adults.
