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 stage 14 embryos, about 1.2 pole cells are seen per embryo, compared to about 19.4 in wild-type.
gclunspecified has sterile phenotype, suppressible by Mmus\Gmcl1Hsp83.PL
gclunspecified has primordial germ cell phenotype, suppressible by Mmus\Gmcl1Hsp83.PL
The addition of Mmus\GclHsp83.PL to gclunspecified embryos suppresses the pole cell phenotype. Embryos have between 4.7 and 8.9 pole cells per embryo. Fertility of mutant adults is also increased.
