Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous spagk12101 larvae die 6-7 days after egg laying, with overgrowth of the hematopoietic organs and occasional formation of melanotic pseudo-tumours. This occurs more often in the distal and secondary lobes, which are usually the smallest in wild-type larvae. All other tissue such as imaginal discs and salivary glands are reduced in size.

spagk12101 mutant fat bodies exhibit an increase in lamellocytes.

Mutant third instar larvae have multiple melanotic nodules surrounded by hemocytes. The nodules are located symmetrically along the body wall and often replace imaginal discs. The melanotic nodules are surrounded by lamellocytes. The lymph glands are about twice the size of normal lymph glands in the mutant larvae.

Mutation causes abnormal trichome differentiation and small cells. Mutants exhibit visible disc abnormalities: very small or no discs. Clones induced in wild type discs are abnormal: clones are generated at a lower than expected frequency and are small with a significantly elongated shape along the proximodistal axis. Clones in the wing cause non-autonomous effects on the proliferation of neighbouring territories, leading eventually to a reduction in wing size.

Homozygotes die at the larval to pupal transition phase with overgrowth of the haematopoietic organs, formation of secondary melanotic tumours in the haemocoel and atrophy of the imaginal discs.
