embryo | embryonic stage 6 (with Df(3R)C4)
nucleus | embryonic stage 5 (with Df(3R)C4)
Nuclei of kukEY07696/Df(3R)C4, Dp(3;3)P5 embryos become abnormally rounded and fail to show folding of the nuclear envelope during cellularisation.
kukEY07696 is rescued by kuk+t8.2
The nuclear-morphology phenotype of kukEY07696 is complemented by a maternal copy of kuk+t8.2 but not by
a zygotic wild-type allele.
kukEY07696 mutants express only one of the two kuk isoforms.
