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.
In sfl null embryos a segment polarity type phenotype is seen. The stomatogastric nervous system is also perturbed and the second midgut constriction is missing.
sfl[+]/sflunspecified is an enhancer of embryo | segment polarity expression pattern | germline clone phenotype of dally06464
sfl[+]/sflunspecified is an enhancer of embryonic epidermis | germline clone phenotype of dally06464
sfl[+]/sflunspecified is a suppressor of flight muscle cell | adult stage phenotype of parkΔ21/park1
sfl[+]/sflunspecified is a suppressor of mitochondrion | adult stage phenotype of parkΔ21/park1
Homozygous embryos derived from dally06464 germline clones show weak segment polarity defects (8% penetrance). More severe defects are detected in embryos where the maternal sfl message is also eliminated (14% penetrance).
