Insertion of a P{Mae-UAS.6.11} element in the first exon of ph-p, 99 bp upstream of the ATG codon.
22% of ph-p4061/+; Scer\GAL4da.G32/+ ovarioles (n=202) exhibit defects in oogenesis: compound follicles with more than 16 germline cells; apposed follicles separated only by follicular epithelia rather than an interfollicular stalk. In addition, germarial region 2b/3 is often abnormally swollen and long and contains abnormally advanced cysts of up to stage 5 of oogenesis. ph-p4061/+; Scer\GAL4da.G32/+ females show a partial homeotic haltere-to-wing transformation.
