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.
Mutants show no overt defects in the overall architecture of the CNS.
exexunspecified, tupunspecified has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype
exexunspecified, tupunspecified has larval longitudinal connective phenotype
exexunspecified, tupunspecified has larval intersegmental nerve phenotype
In tupunspecified, exexunspecified double mutants the scaffold of CNS axons is aberrant, the commissures are often greatly reduced or absent. ISNb projections clump in the proximity of the ISN. Axons within the ISN defasciculate aberrantly and ISNs from adjacent hemisegments can fuse across the parasegment boundary. Longitudinal connectives are abnormally thin and irregular.
