Astral microtubules are readily detected in taccUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP embryos at all stages of the cell cycle and are particularly prominent during anaphase.
taccUbi-p63E.GFP is a non-suppressor of lethal | embryonic stage phenotype of mars1/marsEP2477
The lethality of embryos laid by mars1/marsEP2477 mothers is not rescued by taccUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP expression.
Expression of taccUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP in a taccstella592 mutant background results in approximately 90% viability, with these embryos exhibiting very few mitotic defects.
