Inversion breakpoint downstream of the tal transcription unit.
tal1 mutants exhibit leg defects in which the tarsal segments do not develop.
In tal1 mutant leg imaginal discs the whole tarsal region is missing. The tarsal fold does not form further than a superficial constriction, subsequent tarsal folds do not form, and the tarsal region does not grow.
In tal1 mutant third instar leg imaginal discs, the original tarsal constriction forms as in the wild-type, but the tarsal fold never forms anything further than a superficial constriction, and subsequent tarsal fold do not form, with the tarsal region does not grow.
pri1 mutants exhibit leg defects in which the tarsal segments do not develop.
In pri1 mutant leg imaginal discs the whole tarsal region is missing. The tarsal fold does not form further than a superficial constriction, subsequent tarsal folds do not form, and the tarsal region does not grow.
In pri1 mutant third instar leg imaginal discs, the original tarsal constriction forms as in the wild-type, but the tarsal fold never forms anything further than a superficial constriction, and subsequent tarsal fold do not form, with the tarsal region does not grow.
