A small deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{XP}Mdhd11068, extending from the progenitor insertion site to nucleotide 735 in the grass transcript, which deletes the first 101 amino acids of the open reading frame.
Deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{XP}Men-bd11068. The deletion extends from the insertion site into grass, removing the first 101 amino acids of the protein.
Mutant flies show reduced survival compared to wild-type controls after natural infection with B. bassiana.
grassHerrade mutant flies are highly susceptible to infection by Gram-positive bacteria and they are deficient in their response to infection by the fungus Beauveria bassiana and the yeast Candida albicans.
grassHerrade has abnormal immune response | recessive phenotype, enhanceable by psh4
Flies doubly mutant for grassHerrade and psh4 are more susceptible to infection by both fungi and Gram-positive bacteria than any of the single mutants.
