Recombination between the two progenitor insertions has resulted in a deletion that removes the entire tal transcription unit.
Estimated endpoints of a deletion resulting from FLP-catalyzed recombination using the FRT-containing transposons P{XP}d06750 and PBac{WH}f04098.
talpri-1/talpri-2 embryos show a number of cuticle phenotypes; they completely lack denticle belts and dorsal hairs, and the head skeleton and posterior spiracles are deformed. The mutant embryos lack the specific F-actin accumulation that is normally seen at the site of denticle formation, but the F-actin signal at the cell boundaries remains in the presumptive denticle cells.
talpri-1/talpri-2 embryos lack the taenidial folds in the tracheal system.
