In mutant embryos, the midline glia cells (MGCs) are reduced in number and do not ensheathe the commissures, as seen in wild-type, leading to reduced separation between the anterior and posterior commissure bundles. At stage 12 MGCs appear normal, at stage 13 a migration defects is apparent and by stage 17 fewer (1-2 per segment) MGCs persist than seen in wild-type (about 3 per segment). Mutants also have collapsed commissures, reduced separation between the two longitudinal branches, and gaps and inappropriate crossing of the midline by the longitudinal axons producing a fragmented and disorganised longitudinal axonal array. spenAH393/+ embryos show central nervous system defects in about 4% of embryos.

spenAH393 is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Ras85DN17.sev
spenAH393 is an enhancer of eye phenotype of aopACT.sev
spenAH393 is an enhancer of eye phenotype of aopACT.GMR
spenAH393 is a non-enhancer of phenotype of Ras85DV12.sev
spenAH393 is a non-suppressor of phenotype of Ras85DV12.sev
Dominantly suppresses the Df(1)N-54l9/+ and N55e11/+ wing nicking phenotypes.
when pntunspecified/+ is added to spenAH393 heterozygotes, about 25% of embryos exhibit axonal defects. The predominant phenotype is reduced separation between the two longitudinal axon pathways and an occasional inappropriate crossing of the midline.
Effect on aopS2382 and Ras85DN17.sev is mild. Effect on aopACT.GMR is moderate. Effect on aopACT.sev is strong. Lethal in combination with phl12 at 18oC.
