Heterozygotes do not show a malformed leg phenotype. Heterozygotes have normal bristle morphology. Homozygous adults are produced at about 20% of the expected frequency, and they have a completely penetrant stubble bristle phenotype. Homozygotes show 7 +/- 3% embryonic lethality and 34 +/- 10% of homozygous larvae fail to form pupae. Homozygotes show larval moulting defects.
5% of br1 ; SbEbr228/+ flies show a malformed leg phenotype. The predominant leg phenotype in br1/Y ; SbEbr228/+ flies is short, fat femurs and tibias. 0% of br5/+ ; SbEbr228/+ flies show a malformed leg phenotype. 3% of SbEbr228 Rho1J3.8 double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg. 12% of SbEbr228 Rho1k02107b double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg. 2% of SbEbr228 Rho1E3.10 double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg. 4% of SbEbr228 RhoGEF204291 double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg. 2% of SbEbr228 RhoGEF211-3 double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg. 14% of SbEbr228 zipEbr double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg. 0% of SbEbr228 zip1 double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg. 0% of SbEbr228 zip33-1 double heterozygotes show a malformed leg phenotype in at least one leg.
Selected as: a mutation that enhances the br1 malformed leg phenotype.
