This allele may be caused by a deficiency associated with the insertion P{lacW}tmodH7 which deletes the spdo gene - possibly extending to the insertion site of P{lacW}Y1444.
embryonic peripheral nervous system & glial cell
peripheral nervous system precursor cluster & neuron | supernumerary
Shows severe phenotype in trans to Df(3R)tll-g. spdoH7 embryos display an approximate doubling of the number of neurons in the PNS, though the neurons are distributed among the four typical clusters in each segment and the overall morphology of the embryos is not affected. Glial cells associated with these clusters are missing.
spdoH7 has embryonic peripheral nervous system & glial cell | supernumerary phenotype, suppressible by tmodhs.PDL
spdoH7 is a suppressor of abdominal dorsal bipolar neuron dbp | embryonic stage phenotype of numb1
The phenotype of double mutants with numb1 does not resemble the numb1 phenotype, but the spdo mutant phenotype. tmodhs.PDL partially suppresses the loss of pros expressing glial cells in the embryonic peripheral nervous system of spdoH7 embryos. The phenotype of double mutants with spdoH7 does not resemble the numb1 phenotype, but the spdo mutant phenotype. In the absence of numb two dbd glial cells are seen. In double mutants with spdoH7, the dbd glial cell is missing, as for spdo mutants. spdoH7/spdoH7 largely suppresses the reduction in neuron numbers seen in stage 15 numb1 homozygous embryos.

Evidence suggests that the "H7" chromosome contains lesions that affect both tmod and spdo (as suggested in FBrf0182569 and FBrf0183486); the P{lacW}tmodH7 insertion maps within the tmod transcription unit (see FBrf0102830) and the "H7" chromosome also fails to complement spdo mutations, suggesting that there is a second lesion that affects spdo. The nature of the lesion(s) is not known, however data from FBrf0183486 suggests that there may be a deletion extending from the site of the progenitor insertion to the P{lacW}tmodH7 insertion in tmod.
