female sterile (with JIL-1z2)
suppressor of variegation (with JIL-1z2), with In(1)wm4
0% of embryos derived from JIL-1z2/JIL-1h9 females mated to wild-type males hatch. Heterozygous ovaries are indistinguishable from wild-type in size. JIL-1z2/JIL-1h9 animals that survive to adulthood are sterile and females produce significantly fewer eggs than normal. JIL-1z2/JIL-1h9 ovaries are significantly decreased in size compared to wild type, consisting primarily of connective tissue with little or no apparent ovariole development, although in some cases ovary tissue develops to some degree. In those females with some ovary development, a range of egg chamber defects are seen. The most common consists of egg chambers with a reduction in the number of nurse cells and no apparent oocyte nucleus. In other cases cell nuclei within the egg chamber appear to fragment of fail to undergo DNA amplification. In a few cases, egg chambers containing an increased number of nurse cells are seen. In all cases, other ovarioles in the same ovary often appear empty with no egg chamber development.
JIL-1z2/JIL-1h9 is a suppressor | partially of enhancer of variegation | dominant phenotype of E(var)2-11, In(1)wm4
General trend from least to most viable is: JIL-1z2 < JIL-1h9 < JIL-1z60 < JIL-1EP3657 < JIL-1z28 ~ JIL-1Scim.
