Df(3L)79a embryos expressing rheaKVK-DDD.Ubi-p63E display muscle-detachment defects. Germ-band retraction defects are observed, and embryos show a characteristic "tail-up" appearance. Dorsal closure defects are observed in approximately 1/3 of embryos.
Df(3L)79a, rheaKVK-DDD.Ubi-p63E has larval somatic muscle | embryonic stage phenotype
rheaKVK-DDD.Ubi-p63E partially rescues Df(3L)79a
Expression of rheaKVK-DDD.Ubi-p63E fails to rescue the embryonic lethality and embryonic morphogenetic defects of Df(3L)79a mutant embryos. Muscle detachment defects are partially rescued in these animals.
