Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion of 1.6kb of genomic sequence which encompasses the potential start codon of tej.
A ~1.6kb deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}EY08611. Mapped deletion endpoints are precise and were mapped from reported sequence.
Eggs derived from mutant females have normal dorsal appendages.
tapas125, tej48-5 has female sterile phenotype
tapas125, tej48-5 has male sterile | progressive phenotype
tapas125, tej48-5 has female germline cell phenotype
tapas125, tej48-5 has male germline cell phenotype
tej48-5 tapas125 double mutant females are sterile, while double mutant males are fertile only for the first few days after eclosion. Progressive degeneration of the germline cells is seen in both cases. Apoptotic cells are seen in the germarium in double mutant tej48-5 tapas125 ovaries and testes, in contrast to wild type or single mutant germaria. Double mutant oocytes show a severe defect in polarity establishment.
Germline stem cells appear to be maintained in the gonads in double mutant tej48-5 tapas125 males and females.
