Homozygous somatic clones induced during mid to late third larval instar stage are recovered at a significantly higher frequency than those induced earlier.
Somatic clones in the male testis produce overproliferating germ cells, a cyst contains many more than 16 cells that are much smaller than wild type. Germ line clones do not show overproliferation of the germ cells. Cysts of overproliferating germ cells is surrounded by the normal complement of cyst cells: cyst cells are not deleteriously affected by loss of shn. Incomplete cytokinesis is occurring in many, if not all, of the overproliferating germ cells within a cyst. The overproliferating germ cells exhibit spermatogonial rather than stem cell behaviour. Mutants exhibit visceral mesoderm and cuticle defects, cells of the visceral mesoderm fail to fuse and defects in dorsal closure lead to a curved appearance of the cuticle.
