Eatof02254 homozygous as well as Eatof02254/Df(2L)BSC812 and Eatof02254/EatoMI14571 mutant stage 14 egg chambers show nurse cell clearance defect and contain on average 2-3, 8 and 6 persistent nurse cell nuclei, respectively, while in wild-type egg chambers all the germ-line derived nurse cells have undergone programmed cell death and been cleared by this stage.
Eatof02254 has egg chamber phenotype, enhanceable by Abca3mir-1007-KO/Abca3mir-1007-KO

The nurse cell clearance defects observed in Eatof02254 mutant stage 14 egg chambers (which contain persistent nurse cell nuclei, while in wild-type egg chambers all the germ-line derived nurse cells have undergone programmed cell death and been cleared by this stage) is strongly exacerbated by ABCAmir-1007-KO homozygosity.
