Imprecise excision of the P{lacW}SelDSH1599 insertion, resulting in a deficiency that removes the entire intergenic region 5' of conv as well as part of the conv transcription unit. The SelD gene is also disrupted.
Deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{lacW}Sps1SH1599 that affects both conv and Sps1.
Homozygous larvae hatch and begin crawling, but do not survive past the second larval instar.
100% of trachea in convY58/convR278 larvae fail to fill with air.
convY58/Df(2R)7131 embryos do not have paracellular barrier defects, as shown by wild-type-like impermeability of trachea and salivary glands to a 10kD dextran dye.
Chitin accumulates normally in the tracheal lumen of convR278/convY58 stage 17 embryos. The gaps that normally appear between the lumenal walls the matrix are missing in these embryos.
