larval neuroblast | larval stage (with gwl716)
Homozygotes die as first or second instar larvae.
gwl716/gwl180 larval brains are normal in size. The mitotic index of mutant larval neuroblasts is increased compared to wild type. The proportion of cells in early mitotic stages (prophase and prometaphase) is increased and the proportion of cells in late mitotic stages (metaphase, anaphase and telophase) is decreased in the mutant cells compared to wild type.
Some adult gwl716/gwl180 escapers are seen. These eclose several days late and have rough eyes and wing defects. The females are sterile and do not lay eggs. The males are sterile.
twsj11C8/+ suppresses many of the gwl716/gwl180 mutant phenotypes, with adults eclosing at the normal time with normal wing and eye morphologies. Males are fertile, but females lay eggs that do not develop. The mitotic index of mutant larval neuroblasts is near normal.
twsj11C8/+ significantly rescues the meiotic maturation defect of gwlSr18/gwl180 oocytes.
