wor4/Df(2L)ED1054 stage 11 mutants exhibit reduced neuroblast numbers when compared to control embryos.

wor4/Df(2L)ED1054 transheterozygotes present a significant decrease in the number of dividing neuroblasts during stages 13 and 14 of embryogenesis and a significant decrease in the number of dividing neuroblast daughters during stage 14, but not stage 13, of embryogenesis, as compared to controls; there is a significantly decreased neuroblast number at both embryonic stages, as compared to controls. These mutants do not show defects in neuroblast in lineage progression at stage 17 embryos, as compared to controls.

4% of homozygous embryos hatch (this lethality may be attributed partly to additional mutations on the wor4 chromosome). 57% of wor1/wor4 embryos hatch. 38% of wor1/wor4 animals survive to adulthood. 84% of wor3/wor4 embryos hatch. 17% of wor3/wor4 animals survive to adulthood. wor4/Df(2L)do1 embryos do not hatch. wor4/Df(2L)osp29 animals do not survive to adulthood.

Larval denticle belt polarity disrupted.

Df(1)BSC530 wor (wor4/Df(2L)ED1054) stage 11 double mutants display a near-complete loss of neuroblasts, below the numbers observed in each single mutant when compared to control embryos.

The decreased neuroblast/neuroblast daughter divisions observed in wor4/Df(2L)ED1054 transheterozygous stage 14 embryos is suppressed by the expression of CycEScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155.

wor4/+, CycEAR95/+, Df(3R)Exel6186/+, Df(3R)Exel6212/+ quadruple heterozygous stage 17 (air-filled trachea) embryos show defects in neuroblast in lineage progression, as illustrated by the frequent loss of the last-born cell in the NB5-6T lineage, as compared to controls.
