Deletion of the entire rumpel gene. A sequence cassette containing 1. an attP site, and 2. a loxP cassette containing a Disc\RFPmCherry.3xP3 marker has been inserted in place of the deleted sequence.
rumpelΔ+Cherry homozygous adults show increased day-time sleep.
bumpel2, kumpel2, rumpelΔ+Cherry has viable phenotype
bumpel2, kumpel2, rumpelΔ+Cherry has female sterile phenotype
bumpel2, kumpel2, rumpelΔ+Cherry has abnormal locomotor behavior | third instar larval stage phenotype
bumpel2, kumpel2, rumpelΔ+Cherry has decreased fecundity | female phenotype
bumpel2, kumpel2, rumpelΔ+Cherry has unfertilized egg | absent phenotype
In bumpel2, kumpel2, rumpelΔ+Cherry triple homozygous females oogenesis is blocked at stage 8 and no eggs are laid. Triple mutant third instar larvae show decreased crawling at elevated temperatures (32[o]C): reduced distance to origin, but faster movement, and altered bending behavior.
