Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

tbrd-2HR mutant spermatids are produced, but contain nuclei of various sizes and irregular mitochondria, and display aberrant cytokinesis at the onion stage. Primary spermatocyte morphology at earlier stages is also unaffected.

No chromosome defects are observed in G2 phase chromosomes of tbrd-2HR mutant testes. However at prophase I when chromatid starts to condense into the typical three main chromosome masses, the two prominent asters of microtubules present in wild type spermatocytes are either not formed , aberrant in aspect or present in excessive numbers. In the subsequent metaphase I. anaphase I and telophase I sister chromatid segregation appears abnormal.

Statement
Reference

tbrd-2HR1 has spermatid phenotype, non-enhanceable by tbrd-12

Statement
Reference

tbrd-2HR1 is a non-enhancer of spermatid phenotype of tbrd-12

Additional Comments

Statement
Reference

The spermatid phenotype observed in tbrd-12 tbrd-2HR double mutants is similar to that seen in either mutant alone. Primary spermatocyte morphology at earlier stages is also unaffected.

Comments

Expression of tbrd-2T:Avic\GFP-EGFP,T:Zzzz\His6 rescues the sterility and spermatid defects seen in tbrd-2HR mutant males.
