hypomorphic allele - genetic evidence
female sterile | recessive

egg chamber
wing
The DlBX8 allele exhibits context-dependent defects in ovarian function. Ovaries display fused egg chambers and necrosis. Viability and leg development, however, are wild type and only mild defects in wing morphology are evident.
Does not suppress the Nspl-1-E(spl)1 interaction.
