Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

The embryonic dorsal vessel forms normally in homozygous Mef2^26-6 embryos. In contrast, there is a dramatic decrease in somatic musculature and malformed midguts in these mutant embryos.

Mef2^26-6/Mef2⁶⁵ trans-heterozygotes exhibit major defects in their indirect flight muscles, based on reduced numbers and abnormal patterning of the dorsal longitudinal indirect flight muscles.
