debcl²²/debcl^{KO-unspecified} flies are viable, fertile and exhibit a normal lifespan.

At variable penetrance, extra scutellar bristles are found on the notum.

debcl²²/debcl²⁷ embryos have extra Kr-positive cells in segments A4 and A5 of the ventral nerve cord - these cells normally die.

debcl²² embryos have extra Kr-positive cells in Bolwig's organ - these cells normally die.

WT and debcl²² larval wing discs show comparable increases in ionizing radiation-induced cell death.

debcl²² animals are slightly compromised for viability after ionizing radiation challenge at the larval stage.

debcl²²/debcl²⁷ and debcl²²/debcl⁶¹ animals show an increased frequency of notched wings after ionizing radiation challenge at the larval stage, compared to wild type.

WT and debcl²²/debcl²⁷ larval wing discs show comparable proliferative arrest and resumption of proliferation kinetics after ionizing radiation exposure.

debcl²² and debcl²²/debcl⁵⁹ animals show normal starvation-induced autophagy, and normal survival curves when transferred from fed to starved conditions.

Debcl²² is an enhancer of wing | progressive phenotype of Dark^CD4
