Isolation: thrk07336 was identified in the 'l(2)k07336' line. A deficiency uncovering the site of the P{lacW}k07336 insertion complements the 'l(2)k07336' chromosome for lethality and does not produce embryos with the defects characteristic of the homozygous 'l(2)k07336' line. This suggests that the thrk07336 mutation is not caused by the P{lacW}k07336 insertion.
Malpighian tubules are short with fewer but larger cells than normal. The hindgut and foregut are short. Midgut constrictions do not form. Head involution is incomplete, tracheae are abnormal and there are holes in the epidermis.
