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.
rokunspecified embryos display defects in cellularisation including an irregular, wavy cellularisation front. The nuclei of rokunspecified mutant embryos have striking defects, including displacement into the interior of the embryo leaving reduced numbers at the cortex, with the remaining nuclei often being of increased size and irregular morphology. Despite these defects, many embryos complete cellularisation. At later stages of gastrulation, the outer layer of rokunspecified mutant embryos becomes multilayered and irregular (compared to a single-layered epithelium in wild-type), containing large, often rounded cells.
