A subsequent study (FBrf0167648) and an erratum (FBrf0225560) state that "Several phenotypes that were previously attributed to loss of 'Dcp-1', including melanotic tumors, small imaginal discs, and dumpless egg chambers, have now been shown to be due to disruption of 'pita'. However, single mutations in 'Dcp-1' show defective germline cell death, and loss of 'Dcp-1' contributes to the ovary phenotype previously reported for the P-element alleles. Thus, the original ovary phenotype reported for the P-element alleles was due to the combined loss 'Dcp-1' and 'pita'."
