hypomorphic allele - genetic evidence
embryonic/larval hypodermal muscle cell (with slse4)
larval muscle system | third instar larval stage (with slse4)
pupal cuticle (with slse4)
The myonuclei in slsg05/slse4 mutant third instar larval striated muscle are not properly distributed.
The slse4/slsg05allelic combination produces long, thin pupae.
slsg05/slse4 mutant third instar larvae examined just prior to puparium formation display structural abnormalities of muscle fibers.
While the slsg05/slsS002001 allelic combination does not adversely effect adult viability, additional Df(3R)Mlp84BP8 heterozygosity in this genetic background leads to some lethality.
