Estimated boundaries of a 2.63 kb deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{XP}Stricad06491 that removes sequences from 355 bases upstream of the insertion to 70 bases from the end of Strica-RA.
Strica4 homozygotes do not exhibit a significant proportion of hyperplastic testes, as compared to controls.
The programmed cell death of bursCCAP neurons seen in the adult ventral nerve cord of wild type flies after eclosion is strongly suppressed in dream4 mutant homozygotes.
dream4 mutant males exhibit a similar amount of spermatogonial cyst death to wild type controls.
dream4 homozygotes exhibit wild-type apoptosis of vCrz neurons, with no viable vCrz neurons detected at 7 hours after puparium formation.
No abnormal mid-stage egg chambers are seen in the ovaries of homozygous or dream4/Df(2R)nap9 females.

Nearly all vCrz neurons are present at 7 hours after puparium formation in dream4; NcI24 double mutants. Such an abnormal programmed cell death phenotype is significantly more severe than in either single mutant. No surviving vCrz neurons are found at 7 hours after puparium formation in dream4; NcI24/+ mutants, suggesting that heterozygosity of Nc is sufficient to compensate for the lack of dream function.
Triple mutants of DreddB118; dream4; NcI24 display results comparable to dream4; NcI24 double mutants, i.e. all vCrz neurons are still present having not undergone apoptosis by 7 hours after puparium formation.
Females containing dream4 ; NcI24 double homozygous germline clones are fertile, but their ovaries contain 31% of mid-stage egg chambers with missing follicle cells and large surviving nurse cells. There is also an increase in mid-stage egg chambers containing condensed nurse cell nuclei but lacking follicle cells. 16% of stage 14 egg chambers contain persisting nurse cell nuclei.
Females containing dream4 ; NcI29 double homozygous germline clones are fertile, but their ovaries contain 46% of mid-stage egg chambers with missing follicle cells and large surviving nurse cells. Many of these egg chambers contain excessive numbers of nurse cells. There is also an increase in mid-stage egg chambers containing condensed nurse cell nuclei but lacking follicle cells. 21% of stage 14 egg chambers contain persisting nurse cell nuclei.
No significant defects is seen in the egg chambers of females containing dream2/dream4 ; NcI29 double homozygous germline clones.
DreddB118 dream4 double mutant females do not show any defects during oogenesis.
