Df(3L)79a embryos expressing rheaR2531G.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, rheaR2531G.Ubi-p63E has larval somatic muscle | embryonic stage phenotype
rheaR2531G.Ubi-p63E partially rescues rheaABS2
rheaR2531G.Ubi-p63E partially rescues Df(3L)79a
Expression of rheaR2531G.Ubi-p63E fails to rescue the embryonic lethality or embryonic morphogenetic defects of Df(3L)79a mutant embryos. Muscle detachment defects are partially rescued in these animals.
