elg1MI08386 mutants are viable but the females fail to produce mature eggs and display defects in nurse cell endoreplication leading to overall underreplicated morphology of the nurse cells and overreplication of the heterochromatin.
elg1MI08386/Df(3L)Exel6128 females display the same underreplicated nurse cell phenotype characteristic for elg1MI08386 mutants and are also sterile.
