ihogGLC is found to be homozygous viable and fertile.
boiKO, ihogGLC has ventral denticle belt phenotype
boiKO, ihogGLC has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype
Animals bred to homozygosity for both ihogGLC and boiKO die in early larval stages.
Embryos derived from maternal germline clones of ihogGLC in a boiKO homozygous mutant background show a cuticle phenotype. Cuticle preparations from the mutant embryos reveal a fully penetrant phenotype in which naked cuticle normally present in the posterior of each segment fails to develop, resulting in a continuous lawn of poorly patterned denticles.
