FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.
Mutants show defects in the axon pattern of class IV dendritic arborization (da) neurons. The axon scaffold has fused longitudinals.
In simunspecified stage 15 embryos, the genital disc precursor cells are completely missing.
The GMC-1 in mutants frequently (in about 9% of hemisegments) divide symmetrically to generate two RP2s instead of an RP2 and a sib.
All longitudinal axon tracts collapse onto the midline. No commissures are evident. All midline cells degenerate. Longitudinal connectives show frequent breaks.
simunspecified mutant embryos have narrow denticle bands in all segments. The ventral arms of the head skeleton are fused, and the anal plates are fused. The transverse commissures are completely missing in the ventral nervous system. The mesectodermal cells are missing.
