Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Homozygous fd59A2 mutant flies are viable, morphologically normal, but are sub-fertile.
fd59A1/fd59A2 mutant flies are viable, morphologically normal, but are sub-fertile; male mutant flies crossed to control females lay normal number of eggs, but mutant females crossed to control males lay fewer eggs. Even fewer eggs are laid when mutant males are crossed to mutant females.
fd59A1/fd59A2 is rescued by fd59AUAS.cLa/Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC
Expression of fd59AScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC rescues the egg laying defect seen in fd59A1/fd59A2 mutant females. The morphology and axonal pathway selection of Tdc2[+] neurons are essentially identical between fd59A1/fd59A2 mutant and wild type controls.
