embryonic/larval dorsal vessel | posterior
presumptive embryonic/larval peripheral nervous system
Early lethal.
Embryos exhibit defects in heart morphogenesis, the posterior region of the dorsal vessel remains open. Axonal bundles in the PNS of homozygotes appear defasciculated and thicker than those of normal embryos.
