PBac{SAstopDsRed} insertion between exons 1 and 2 of Pole2.
Imaginal discs, brain lobes and salivary glands of Pole2LL07627 third instar larvae are significantly smaller than wild type.
BrdU incorporation in the S phase zone of eye discs is dramatically reduced in Pole2LL07627 mutants.
PH3 staining in Pole2LL07627 mutants is reduced in the M phase zone of eye discs, but somewhat increased in the posterior region.
There is no significant difference in the number of nuclei between wild type and Pole2LL07627 salivary glands, however the size of nuclei is reduced by 34.5% in the latter indicating defective endoreplication.
