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.
Early embryos derived from homozygous females often show a perturbation of cell cycle progression or nuclear division.
