FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.
Nc mutants usually die during pupal stages, but adult escapers are recovered at a low frequency. These escapers have an abnormal wing phenotype, a weak rough eye phenotype and have a short life span, dying 2-3 days after eclosion.
Pupae expressing decayGD8484 under the control of Scer\GAL4NP1 in a IceΔ1 Ncunspecified background undergo midgut histolysis at a similar rate as wild-type animals.
