Homozygous dorsoventral clones (induced before the segregation of the dorsal and ventral compartments) remove the distal regions of LII, cause gaps in LIII in anterior clones, and remove most of LIV and LV in posterior clones. Clones restricted to one wing surface (dorsal or ventral) have minimal effects on vein differentiation. dpps4/dpps8 flies lack most of wing veins LII, LIV and LV.
Gastric caeca are absent.
Weak pharate adult lethal when heterozygous with other dpp alleles. Adult escapers display wing venation defects, reduced maxillary palps and vibrissae head capsule.
The wings of dppScer\UAS.cSa; Scer\GAL4dpp.3KK flies are covered in ectopic vein tissue. This phenotype is rescued by dpps22/dpps4. The resulting flies have a milder shortvein phenotype than dpps22/dpps4 flies.
Belongs to the shv-p class of alleles.
Allele class: shv-p
Used to examine regulation of dpp-Ecol\lacZ promoter fusions, whose expression depends on endogenous dpp function demonstrating that positive autoregulation maintains dpp expression in the visceral mesoderm.
