hbeve.st2ΔKr is a suppressor of lethal phenotype of kni2FKE.eve
hb12, hbeve.st2ΔKr has larval head phenotype, suppressible by Krunspecified
The addition of hbeve.st2ΔKr to kni2FKE.eve animals fully rescues the lethality phenotype. The addition of Krunspecified to hb12, hbeve.st2ΔKr animals causes a dramatic rescue of most head structure defects, and a few embryos (about 10%) show anterior phenotypes that are indistinguishable from wild-type.
hbeve.st2ΔKr partially rescues hb12
Addition of hbeve.st2ΔKr to hb12 mutants specifically rescues the prothorax and returns A1 to its normal size. Rescue with two copies of the transgene further increases the size of the thorax and rescues the dorsal part of T3. T2, however is never present in these embryos. hbeve.st2ΔKr causes a very weak rescue of the head structure defects.
