Insertion of P{PZ} into the 5' UTR of the dco transcription unit. The insertions in dcoP103 and dcoS144701 fall into the same site in the first 612bp intron, 251 bp downstream from the 3' end of exon 1.
Homozygotes show lethality during larval or early pupal stages. dco3 in combination with dcole88, dcoi3-193, dcoS053813, dcoS139602, dcoS091510 and dcoP103 : show lethality during larval or early pupal stages with typical dco3 phenotype (swollen tarsi with or without head defects). Discs overgrown. dco2 in combination with dcoP103 : adult viable with expanded wings and leg outgrowths. dco18 in combination with dcoP103 : show lethality during larval or early pupal stages with abnormal discs with granular zone and abnormal folding. dcole88 in combination with dcoP103 : show lethality during late pupal stage with abnormal discs with granular zone and abnormal folding. dcoi3-193 in combination with dcoP103 : adult viable with narrow wings and abnormal discs with granular zone and abnormal folding. dcoS053813 in combination with dcoP103 : adult viable with narrow wings; abnormal discs with granular zone and abnormal folding. dcoS139602 in combination with dcoP103 : show lethality during embryogenesis or early larval stages, abnormal discs with granular zone and abnormal folding. dcoS091510 in combination with dcoP103 : adult viable with normal phenotype, normal discs.
