The polytenic nurse cells of early-stage poly2 germ-line clones are indistinguishable from those of wild-type, but after stage 5 poly2 clones remain arrested in the distinct five-blob configuration of stage 4.
Homozygous poly2 and transheterozygous poly2/poly1 larvae exhibit delayed development, reaching third-instar and pupal stages later than their heterozygous siblings.
poly2 mutant mothers and poly2 germ-line mutant mothers drived from the dominant female sterile technique both fail to deposit eggs.
poly2 homozygotes and poly2/poly1 transheterozygotes display notching of the wing margin.
Homozygous poly2 and transheterozygous poly1/poly2 mutant ovaries are small and display a wide variety of defects, including egg-chamber fusion, apoptosis and nurse cell chromosome morphology defects.
A Hrb27C377 heterozygous background strengthens the wing margin phenotype found in poly2 homozygous mutants (compared to a wild-type background).
There are no changes in nurse cell chromosomal dispersal in otu13/+; poly2 germ-line clones.
Multiple copies of the otu104 transgene facilitate further development of poly2 homozygous ovaries.
Elp62 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/Elp6UASp.cKa
Elp62 is rescued by Elp6UASp.EGFP/Scer\GAL4VP16.mat.αTub67C
The wing margin phenotype found in poly2 homozygotes is alleviated upon expression of polyScer\UAS.P\T.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI.
Selected as: a mutation in which posterior stau localization is disrupted in stage 9 female germ-line clones.
